What does this definition describe?

a) natural rights

b) social contract

c) divine right of kings

d) state of nature

The correct answer b) social contract.

the other answers are wrong, for example: the divine right of king would mean that the king has a right to rule and does need an agreement from the people and natural rights are rights that all people have but the agreement, is not a right, but an agreement, or in other words: contract.
