B. Socrates began a school where he educated students like Plato, laying the foundations for his own branch of philosophy.

Explanation:

Plato (428 - 348) learned from Socrates (470—399 b.c.).  Socrates emphasized importance of ethics and politics for an individual to achieve correct living.  In his teachings and thoughts, Socrates questioned everything.  When he was imprisoned for his socratic ways and philosophies, Plato concentrated his attention and writings on living a virtuous life, as taught by Socrates.  However, since Socrates emphasized face to face communication, Plato toiled with the idea of writing down the socratic ethics and politics.  He had many philosophical writings attributed to him, especially on metaphysics and epistemology.  Plato was the teacher of Aristotle (384 - 322 b.c.).

B. Socrates began a school where he educated students like Plato, laying the foundations for his own branch of philosophy.

Explanation:

Socrates was a Greek Philosopher who had existed between the period of 470 to 399 BCE. He taught various students among which was Plato, another Greek philosopher who also existed between 428 to 328 BCE.

However, Socrates didn't have his philosophical writings. He only taught his students verbally. It was Plato one of his students that was influenced by his Socratic irony and method that later put his school of thought into writing.
