Question

Which of the follwing is not a formulation of Kant's Catergorical Imperative?

Act as if the maxim of your action were to become through your will a universal law of nature.

Act in such a way that you always treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never simply as a means, but always at the same time as an end.

Act in such a way so that you follow rules, obedience to which generally tends to produce the greatest good for the greatest number.

Act such that your will can regard itself as making universal laws through its maxims and as if you are already a law-making member of a Kingdom of Ends.
