Explanation:

A "living document" implies adaptability. The U.S. Constitution isn't automatically updated (A wrong). It's not limited to living persons (C wrong). And it's not written on animal skin (D wrong). The key is its ability to change over time (B correct as it aligns with the concept of a "living document" - evolving to address new situations).

Answer:

B. It can be changed over time to address new circumstances.
