The political theory that people form governments for their mutual protection and that government rules only with the consent of those people is known as

A)
communism.

B)
socialism.

C)
divine right theory.

D)
social contract theory.

Since it tells you the answer has to be a political theory, you can rule out A and B.
Since C implicates kings' and queens' rights, you can eliminate that as well, leaving you with D, which makes sense. A social contract is an agreement between people regulating laws and fairly appointing them, all according to the people. Thus, D is the right answer.
