The correct answer is option C. They can never be taken away from the people. The word unalienable is an adjective that means ‘unable to be removed or surrendered’. Consequently, unalienable rights are those personal rights held by an individual which cannot be taken or given away, or transferred to another person. Governments are instituted to secure these rights. The Declaration of Independence of the United States, for example, makes reference to three unalienable rights: “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
