Question

which theory about the origins of government holds that government was created when members of society got together and agreed to form a government?
divine right theory
force theory
social contract theory
evolution theory

Explanation:

The social contract theory posits that government originates when people in a society agree to form it (by a social contract) to secure rights, order, etc. Divine right theory claims rulers get authority from God. Force theory says government comes from forceful takeover. Evolution theory sees government evolving from family/tribe structures. So the theory matching "members of society got together and agreed to form a government" is social contract theory.

Answer:

social contract theory (the option with "social contract theory" text)
