voltaire
john locke
baron de montesquieu
jean - jacques rousseau

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson's argument for unalienable rights (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness) in the Declaration of Independence was heavily influenced by John Locke's ideas about natural rights (life, liberty, property). Voltaire was known for advocacy of civil liberties, Montesquieu for separation of powers, and Rousseau for social contract theory, but Locke's work on natural rights was the primary basis for Jefferson's unalienable rights argument.

Answer:

B. John Locke
