The correct answer is A. The social contract theory (originated from Plato, then reinterpreted by other philosophers such as Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau), implies that the built society (to avoid conflicts among people), will willingly give power to "chosen", that is "elected" ones for the well-being of all. B. Is near Plato's original concept, who believed philosopher were almost "divine" beings with the right to rule; C. is near Hobbes' initial society's vision; D. is a forced government which all these cited philosophers wouldn't have approved.

Answer:

A. The people grant power to a government for the well-being of all is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The social contract theory was one of the theories about the origin of the state and emerged during the time of sophists in Greece. It was recognized by the three great philosophers- Thomas Hobbs, Jean Jacques Rousseau, and John Locke. The term Social means that people live in an agreement with society. This theory was famous because it systematically explained the origin of the state. According to this theory, the society came into being by the contract which was made between the society and the individual and when the conditions of society became worse the people entered into a contract and surrendered a part of their rights to the king.
