Answer:

A. His argument is so obviously true it cannot be refuted.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term 'evident' by definition means obvious or clear to understand. When Jefferson used this in the Declaration of Independence, he meant that everyone is endowed with unalienable rights (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) and that their existence is irrefutable.
