Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. because.

  • The provided context suggests that the truth and the right to be heard and understood originate from a source or condition that prevents anyone from being excluded or removed.
  • The word "because" connects this idea to the subsequent statement in the sentence, emphasizing the reason behind the notion that no one owns the truth and everyone has the right to be heard and understood.
  • Therefore, "because" is the most suitable option.
