A. People have the right to replace any government that does not protect their interests.

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence states that "whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it." This means that it is the duty of every government to provide certain rights to its citizens, and if any government fails to do so, the people have the right to replace that government.
