The correct answer is: a) Testify against themselves in court

The Fifth Amendment protects the rights of anyone accused of a crime, focusing in the section "self-incrimination" which means people can not be forced to incriminate themselves; making the law enforcement officials produce the evidence necessary to convict a person of a crime.
