a. to withdraw their grievances if given representation

b. to fight the british until the king resigns

c. to support the declaration with their lives

d. to destroy the document once they get what they want

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence's signers ended with the statement "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." Option A is incorrect as the Declaration was a break from British rule, not a request for representation. Option B is incorrect as the goal was independence, not the king's resignation. Option D is incorrect as the document was a declaration of independence, not a temporary demand. Option C matches the pledge of their lives for the declaration.

Answer:

C. To support the declaration with their lives
