Answer:

d ) Patriots were more likely than Loyalists to believe in the idea of consent of the governed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you would understand is that Loyalists were called Loyalists because they supported the rules of Great Britain. If they supported staying as a colony, why would they have any will in the first place to "go to war" with Great Britain if they are contend with the status they hold during the time? The only group that wanted to go to war was the Patriot group, not the Loyalist group.
