Answer:

A) a truth

A maxim refers to a statement that indicates a general truth or or rule of behavior. Thus, the expression means that it is reasonable not to speak.

The rest of the options are incorrect because intolerance involves the reluctance to accept other beliefs or views; an unfair law concerns a law that is not based the principles of justice and impartiality; and a misunderstanding deals with the failure to interpret something correctly.
