ok i see wym.
so the social contract was saying that there is an agreement between the people and government.
so yes, you are correct because well for one, they did not need justification for breaking away from the king because they did this in the Declaration.
all of this came way after the king.

"Social contract theory, nearly as old as philosophy itself, is the view that persons' moral and/or political obligations are dependent upon a contract or agreement among them to form the society in which they live." ~google
*so this is seen with option B, good job
