The correct answer is B. This phrase is quite threatening since it gives the message of depriving someone of the freedom. As we know, losing freedom is one of the most serious rights a person might lose. The words "under attack" also have a strong negative connotation, they give the message of threat. Choice C also has a negative connotation, but it is not as threatening as choice B. Rather, it prepares thd ground for the coming threat.
