The xcorrect option is C

A search warrant is a document issued by a judge or court normally belonging to the judiciary, in which the police authorities are authorized to make a search in a place protected by the right to privacy of a person (usually their home or the place in which the person lives, although it can also be understood as other closed places owned by the person, such as his car).
