Explanation:

8.9

The quote is about dissolving political bands and declaring causes of separation. Rousseau's belief that the state is accountable to society (option D) aligns with the idea of people's right to act when political bonds are problematic, as the state's accountability to society supports the people's right to dissolve such bonds. Option A is about submitting to authority, B is about state of nature with conflicts, C is about man accountable to state—none match as well as D.

The quote is about unalienable rights. Locke believed in natural rights that can't be taken (option C). Option A is Hobbes' view of man accountable to state, B is Rousseau's state accountability, D is Hobbes' family - government idea—only C matches the unalienable rights concept.

The quote is about people's right to abolish a destructive government. Locke believed people could overthrow a government when necessary (option D). Option A is about state of nature rights, B is about inalienable rights, C is Hobbes' family - government idea—D matches the right to overthrow.

Answer:

D. Rousseau’s belief that the state is accountable to society
