    B). Unlimited rights.

    Explanation:

    Hobbes proposed his hypothetical political theory named 'State of Nature' that involves the interrogation of political authority and suggests a condition of liberty and equality for humans without any government or political affiliation. According to him, each individual is responsible for himself to control their natural rights.

    As per the question, in such a state (state of nature) the individuals would have 'unlimited rights' due to no political control or obligation that could restrict or define their rights. Each individual is itself responsible for legitimacy or control of the society. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
