Answer:

B) how people made a social contract and form a state to keep from destroying one another

Step-by-step explanation:

The "natural state of mankind" is what would exist if there was no government, civilization, laws, or common authority to constrain human nature. The state of nature is a "war of all against all," in which humans are always attempting to destroy each other in a never-ending quest for power. Life in the wild is "nasty, brutish, and short."
