Answer: C is correct

Explanation: contract theory speaks about basic and fundamental organization of society (especially in terms of power) without reference to god or divinity. Social contract theory uses fiction of primordial human society to describe humans without any law or organization to show what humans are like in a "pure state". From this starting point they theorize about the way how society should be organized without religion or god. In fact this theory is goes hand in hand with secularitation process in Europe.
