Hobbes and Locke both believed that the primary object of government was to allow people to live their lives in peace and security. Therefore, the correct answer is:

**a to allow people to live their lives in peace and security.**

Hobbes argued that a strong central authority was necessary to prevent chaos and violence, while Locke believed that government should protect individual rights and property, which also contributes to peace and security.
