Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is believed that Jefferson took the idea of natural rights from the English Philosopher, Jonh Locke.

Locke believed that all humans are equal since that they are all born with certain "inalienable" natural rights. This means that they are given to us by God and cannot be taken away.
