Correct answer: (D) Right to revolution — The statement implies the right to revolution, so the answer is the right to revolution.
Explanation
★The statement implies the right to revolution, so the answer is the right to revolution.
★It says people may alter or abolish a government that destroys their rights.
★This is the classic Lockean idea of the right to resist and replace tyranny.
★When rulers break the trust, sovereignty returns to the people.
★They may then institute a new government to secure their natural rights.
★So the Declaration affirms a general right to revolution, not just recall or boycott.
