Answer:
D. When a government starts denying people their rights, then the people can get rid of the government and start a new one.
Explanation:
This phrase, as well as the rest of the Declaration of Independence, was inspired in the ideas of the Enlightenment philosopher John Locke. Locke believed that people were by nature free and equal, but with the purpose to interact in a healthy society, it was necessary that they transferred some of their rights to a government. However, this government had to be elected by the people and it should protect people's natural and inalienable rights of life, liberty, and property, and whenever the government start to deny those rights, people had the authority to alter or to abolish it and to institute a new government. In other words, Locke, as well as the passage, wanted to convey that when a government starts denying people their rights, then the people can get rid of the government and start a new one.
