Answer:

The correct answer is C) cannot be taken away from individuals.

The Declaration of Independence, adopted on July 4, 1776, states that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." The term "unalienable" means that these rights are inherent to all individuals and cannot be taken away by any external force.
