The correct answer is D) rights that should be protected by the government.

Natural rights are rights that all citizens have, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, etc. These natural rights are supposed to be protected by the government. In order to protect these rights, citizens have to give up some of their individual freedoms. This idea of the government protecting natural rights in exchange for less individual freedom is known as a social contract.
