Solution
The correct option is B White males only
The rights guranteed by the US declaration of independence such as the rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, were initially applicable to only white males and not to women or people of colour. The English Magna Carta also granted rights and protection only to barons or the upper class of the society.
