B. 2.

D. 4

Answer 1

C. 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Declaration of Independence was the document that finalized and documented the formal statement of declaring the American people's decision to govern themselves. This declaration asserts the American people's right to chose their government and leaders.

The Founding Fathers are the 8 men who are mainly plantation owners and businessmen who helped unite the colonies and led the fight against the British. And among the eight men, the Founding Fathers who helped with the idea of the Declaration were Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin.

While it was a five-men committee that was given the task of drafting the document, only three of them were Founding Fathers while the other two of the five-men team, namely Roger Sherman and Robert R. Livingston were not part of the Founding Fathers.

Thus, the correct answer is C.
