Explanation:

The word "necessary" implies that an action cannot be avoided, that it is bound to happen. In the context of the Declaration of Independence, framing the revolution as "necessary" conveys that it could not be prevented. Option A (preferable) implies a choice of preference, not inevitability. Option B (justifiable) focuses on moral/legal rightness, not the unavoidable nature. Option C (unreasonable) is the opposite of the intended meaning.

Answer:

D. inevitable
