My best answer is B. please help thank you

Yea D is right.. Also Ms. Sue why you gotta be so salty dang!

the answer is D

D is correct...i took the test and got it right

Your answer, B, is indeed correct. The excerpt from the Declaration of Independence exemplifies the difference between a dictatorship and a democracy by stating that everyone has unalienable rights, which is true in a democracy but not in a dictatorship. In a dictatorship, the ruler typically holds absolute power and the rights of individuals are often restricted or denied. In a democracy, on the other hand, the government is established to protect and uphold the rights of the people, which are considered unalienable and cannot be taken away.

@M.Sue is the answer C

I disagree. There's a better answer.

No. You're on your own now.
