D
He concludes by explaining that rebellion will not work unless all of the colonies join the cause.

Explanation

The Declaration concludes with the signatures of representatives from the thirteen colonies, showing that they stand together in support of independence. This ending supports Jefferson’s purpose of uniting the colonies; the list of grievances appears earlier in the document, not at the conclusion.
