The correct definition of the "State of Nature" is generally understood as **the period of time that existed before government**. Therefore, the most appropriate choice would be:
- the period of time that existed before government
If you're looking at a broader philosophical or theoretical context, some interpretations may reference aspects of the natural state of political affairs or natural resources, but the classical definition focuses more on the absence of political structure and governance.
