Answer it’s A


whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it
is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new gov- ernment, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect [bring about] their safety and happiness.
