Answer:

The correct answer is option B) "Alter or abolish the government".

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Declaration of Independence of United States of America established on July 4, 1776 "...that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government..". This statement refers that people have the right to replace its government if it goes against them and violates any of their human rights. This is known as the right of revolution (or right of rebellion).
