D. Natural and undeniable

I assume you're referring to the word "unalienable", although I can't tell since none of the words were underlined. Unalienable means you cannot disprove or invalidate something. Therefore, our unalienable consitutional rights are natural and undeniable.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

D. Natural and undeniable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the answer choices, I am assuming that the underlined word is unalienable.

That means "unable to be taken away from or given away by the possessor". It is natural and undeniable and nobody can take it away.

So, the best definition is D. Natural and undeniable.

Hope this helps!
