Answer:
B) Freedom.
Step-by-step explanation:
As per Baron de Montesquieu's quote, the 'freedom' is lost when one person gains too much power. He emphasized the point that if 'legislative and executive powers are united in the same person' then there would be no scope for liberty to survive as they may constitute 'oppressive laws' and execute and enforce them 'repressively'. He was strictly against the unity of powers as he called it 'constitutional monarchism'. Thus, he demanded the separation of political powers in order to ensure 'liberty'. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
