Explanation:

The passage from the Declaration of Independence states that people are endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights, which aligns with the idea of natural rights inherent from birth. Option A is unrelated, Option B refers to a different Enlightenment concept about government structure, and Option D is a U.S. Constitution principle, not from the Declaration's core natural rights premise.

Answer:

C. People are born with natural rights.
