b plato lived in the city of atlantis before it sank.
c plato was telling the truth about the lost city of atlantis.
d plato was a greek philosopher who wrote about atlantis

Explanation:

• Option A: The text doesn't mention when Plato wrote about Atlantis, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: There's no info Plato lived in Atlantis, so B is wrong.
• Option C: The text says we may never know if places like Cadiz are Atlantis, so we can't say Plato was telling the truth, C is incorrect.
• Option D: Plato is a known Greek philosopher who wrote about Atlantis, and the text's reference to his description of Atlantis (circular islands) supports this.
