I guess the best answer from those listed would be:

B) limited government

Perhaps better stated would be that this quote sets forth the ideas of natural rights and the social contract.

Thomas Jefferson (writer of the Declaration of Independence) and other American founding fathers got their ideas about natural rights and the social contract from philosophers of the Enlightenment, such as John Locke (1632-1704).  Locke strongly argued that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved.    Locke's ideal was one that promoted individual freedom and equal rights and opportunity for all.  Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.  This meant that the arrangement between citizens and a government was a "social contract" - that the citizens created the government for the protection of their own rights, and if a government did not protect those rights it could be replaced.

The American founding fathers accepted the views of Locke and other Enlightenment thinkers and acted on them.

kozerog [31]

Industrialized nations have numerous societal and economic advantages that are not available to underdeveloped nations. Most industrialized nations have the most current technology, highly educated healthcare professionals, routine exposure to prenatal care, and the presence of a healthcare worker at birth to handle any complications. Citizens of industrialized nations also are comparatively more financially equipped to utilize these resources. Finally, both mothers and healthcare professionals have regular access to education that allows for a successful birth.
