Explanation:

The definition describes an implied agreement between people and government where people give up some power/freedom for protection. This matches the concept of social contract (a core idea in political theory, part of Social Science - Politics subfield). Natural rights are inherent rights, divine right of kings is about royal authority from God, state of nature is a pre - government condition, and popular sovereignty is about people's rule—none match the given definition as closely as social contract.

B. social contract
