Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Kant's rejection of the two-world hypothesis means that he believes there is only one world, the world of our experience. He argues that we cannot know anything beyond or external to this world, but we can still have knowledge within it. This allows him to overcome skepticism, as he is able to assert that our knowledge of the world is certain, even if it is limited to our own perceptions and experiences.
