The correct answer is A. Epicurean.
An Epicurean is someone who believes that the highest good is pleasure, and that pleasure can be achieved through the pursuit of simple, natural pleasures such as food, drink, and friendship.
A Cynic is someone who believes that the only good is virtue, and that the only evil is vice. They believe that people should live simply and in accordance with nature, and that they should avoid material possessions and social conventions.
A Materialist is someone who believes that the only thing that exists is matter, and that everything else, including thoughts, feelings, and ideas, is an illusion.
A Stoic is someone who believes that the only good is virtue, and that the only evil is vice. They believe that people should live in accordance with nature, and that they should accept whatever happens to them with indifference.
In the context of the question, the answer is A. Epicurean because the attitude of “eat, drink and be merry” is consistent with the Epicurean belief that pleasure is the highest good.
