Correct answer: B - Magna Carta
The Magna Carta of 1215 is regarded as the earliest charter of individual rights and liberties against the ruler, and later bills of rights drew on it. The American Constitution's Bill of Rights came only in 1791, and the Manusmriti is a code of social and religious duties, not a charter of rights.
