Answer:

Option a. The civil liberty of protection against self-incrimination that it is listed in the Fifth Amendment was at issue in Miranda v. Arizona.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Miranda v. Arizona in 1966 the Supreme Court ruled that detained criminal suspects must be informed of their constitutional right to an attorney and against self incrimination when they are being detained and prior to being question by the police authorities. This came as a result of a case in which a citizen that had not finished 3rd grade of school, was detained and not informed of his constitutional rights, and during questioning had presumably confessed his criminal activity.
