Answer:

d. The term privacy is not in the Constitution or Bill of Rights but it does exist.

Step-by-step explanation:

The right of privacy is found on the First, Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Let's remember that the first ten amendments to the Constitution are all comprised under the name Bill of Rights because they were declared all at the same time in response to the lack of clarity sustain in the first U.S. Constitution.

The right to privacy restrain the government of getting too much into the private life of the citizens and let them decide what to do with their lives. The term privacy is not explicitly stated but the Supreme Court had understood from different opinions as in Griswold v. Connecticut that in the amendments named after the right to privacy is granted.

I hope this answer helps you.
