This can be seen from the fact that there is no clear authority figure in the state of nature, and when you have a group of people Iiving together without one, there will be chaos and fighting.

B) Human nature is not inherently selfish and violent.
C) When you have a group of people living together without one a clear authority figure, there is peace and harmony.
