d. women should be entitled to attend the college of their choice

Explanation:

The Declaration of Sentiments, authored by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, is a foundational document in the women's rights movement. The first self - evident truth listed in it is a reworking of the phrase from the Declaration of Independence, adapted to include women. It states that "All men and women are created equal." Option A is about voting rights, which is a later demand, not the first self - evident truth. Option C is about marital partnership, and Option D is about college attendance, both of which are not the first self - evident truth. Option B accurately reflects the first self - evident truth in the Declaration of Sentiments.

Answer:

B. All men and women are created equal.
