....... said that 'an unexamined life is not worth living'.
Socrates
The saying 'an unexamined life is not worth living' comes from Socrates' defence speech recorded in Plato's Apology, where he refuses to give up philosophical inquiry to escape the death penalty.
Aristotle emphasised the contemplative life but did not utter this line. Zeno of Citium, the Stoic, and the Sophists as a group taught rhetoric and virtue in different terms, so none of them is the author of this dictum.
Hence, the correct answer is Socrates.
