The correct answer is D) The final document of independence was approved.

July 4, 1776, is considered Independence Day because the final document of independence was approved.

The Declaration of Independence was promulgated in the city of Philadephia, Pennsylvania, and was the result of the work of a special group of prominent Americans who drafted the Declaration. They were Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingston, Roger Sherman, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin.
