Answer: Option 4: Property

Explanation: John Locke said that the government's duty was to protect people's life, liberty (freedom), and property. This was to insure that no individual, under unjust reason, lost their life (or will to live), were enslaved, hindered, or unrightfully restrained, and that they did not have their property and possessions stolen, used, and/or coined by the government.
