Explanation

Statement A is incorrect. The passage does not describe the right of personal property as a natural right or discuss statutes and scriptures. Instead, it emphasizes that the right to personal property must be understood within the context of its legitimacy, liberty, equality, and cooperation, rather than being an absolute, natural right.

Statement B is incorrect. While this statement presents an opinion about personal property being theft, the passage does not make such a claim. It suggests that the right to personal property should be framed in a larger context of cooperation, liberty, and equality, not necessarily labelling it as theft or exploitation.

Statement C is incorrect. The passage does not suggest that the right of personal property negates distributive justice or cooperation. It advocates for a balance between personal property rights and cooperation, along with liberty and equality.

Statement D is correct. This statement aligns with the passage's theme of balancing personal property rights with the principles of liberty, equality, and cooperation, suggesting that property rights should not be absolute but should coexist with other rights.
