Answer:

D. Russell Kirk

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas Jefferson Died in 1826, and Russell Kirk was born in 1918. You can't be influenced by a person who was born 90 years after your death.

Montesquieu, John Locke, and William Blackstone were notably known for their effort in popularizing Democracy as a concept of government. Jefferson learned a lot from their ideas and implemented them when he was writing the declaration of independence.
