What is Plato’s gesture in School Of Athens, and what is meant by it?

In Raphael’s School of Athens, Plato gestures upward, pointing toward the realm of ideal Forms. This reflects his view that the things we experience in the physical world are imperfect copies of eternal Forms. So the correct choice is “He points up to heaven, signifying that everything is a reflection of Forms that reside in heaven.”
