Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Mill's argument from analogy starts with the observation that one's mental states and bodily movements are always correlated. Based on this, he argues that we can infer that the mental states and bodily movements of others are also correlated, and that therefore, others have minds similar to our own. Therefore, the best choice is C - "your mental states and your bodily movements are correlated."
