The correct answer is A.It explains what the rest of the document will do.

This excerpt from the preamble of the Declaration of Independence clearly shows what the document is going to be about. This is evident from the portion that states "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." Essentially, this part states that the author will be discussing all the reasons why the Americans are breaking up with the British.
