The correct answer is C. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

Step-by-step explanation:

The Declaration of Independence was a document approved in 1776 that aimed at recognizing the United States as a separate nation from Great Britain. This declaration was approved by the colonies and it declared all human beings had three basic rights "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", and these were unalienable, which meant they could not be omitted. Moreover, these rights were the base for all the declaration because based on these the colonies justified their need to be independent.
