• “representing his majesty’s government in the united kingdom”
• “deem it right to make known certain common principles”
• “base their hopes for a better future for the world”
• “wish to see sovereign rights and self government restored”

Explanation:

To determine the best evidence for US and Britain supporting colonial independence, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Only describes Churchill's representation, not related to colonial independence.
• Option 2: Mentions making known common principles, but not specific to colonial independence.
• Option 3: Talks about hopes for a better world, not directly about colonial independence.
• Option 4: "wish to see sovereign rights and self government restored" directly relates to restoring self - governance (a key aspect of colonial independence) to those deprived of it, which shows support for colonial independence.

Answer:

D. "wish to see sovereign rights and self government restored"
