Answer: B

Explanation

Thomas Hobbes was a philosopher who had various opinions about politics.

He stated that humans are innately selfish and they will go to any extent to achieve their selfish goals. Even it is by hurting another human.

According to Hobbes, people offer power and rights to a king who can in return give law and order, a kind of social contract.

He also proposed that all humans are equal stating a child can murder an adult while the latter is asleep.
