Answer choice "D" is the correct answer. The DOI states that all men are created and endowed with certain unalienable rights including Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

The correct answer is "Unalienable rights."

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote about the reasons behind America's decision to separate from Great Britain. One of the major reasons was that the colonists felt that Britain violated their "unalienable rights." This term refers to rights that people automatically have and that no government can take away. This is why Jefferson writes in the Declaration of Independence that all men are entitled to these "unalienable rights."
