Actually, the correct answer is C. The description of the rights of United States citizens is a quotation from the fourteenth amendment. The fourteenth amendment was passed in 1868 and is one of the Reconstruction Amendments added to the United States Constitution after the Civil War. It was primarily aimed at ensuring civil rights and equal protection under the law for freed slaves. This particular passage you provided is known as the Citizenship Clause, which establishes that anyone born or naturalized in the United States is a United States citizen, both at the federal level and in their respective state. It also guarantees various other rights and protections for all citizens.
