The correct answer is A. John Locke

Explanation:

John Locke was an important English philosopher, mainly know for proposing different theories related to politics, economy, liberty and the individual. One of the most important proposal's of Lock was that all individuals were equal and each of them had according to the natural law three rights that were inalienable, these were the right to life, the right to liberty and the right to property that summarized as "life, liberty, and property".

This idea of basic rights inspired the United States Declaration of Independence that includes the phrase "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".
