The correct answer is A. Thomas Jefferson's statement about unalienable rights would most likely have been influenced by the writings of John Locke.

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson was elected delegate of Virginia at the Continental Convention of Philadelphia (1775), where he distinguished himself as a great orator and author of political statements. He wrote the draft of the Declaration of Independence (1776), where he embodied the ideas of John Locke: justified the rebellion for the transgressions of King George III against the rights granted to citizens by the unwritten constitution of Great Britain; his defense of democracy, of equality, of the right of peoples to dispose of themselves and of the natural right of men "to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" have marked the later history of the United States.
