Answer:

Thomas Jefferson and the Second Continental Congress.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question and options of this question are tricky.

The question is "Who is responsible for the CREATION of the Declaration of Independence?"

You can find in the the lesson ('Continental Congress", Mod 4) that "Thomas Jefferson.... WROTE the declaration, taking about two weeks to do it...." but there were "...five men (who) joined together to CREATE a Declaration of Independence: Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Robert R. Livingston and Roger Sherman..." (and they were part of the Second Continental Congress),"... After a few changes by the Second Continental Congress, it accepted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. John Hancock was the first to sign it."

(*) Hope this helps others who are looking for the correct answer of this question :)
