Answer:

D. It requires the government to follow all relevant laws and procedures before depriving him of freedom

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the biggest protections that the Fifth Amenmendt gives is the right to not participe in interrogatories that may or may not incriminate the suspect, nor answer questions from the police that may incriminate them. And it states that:

"No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."

This gives everyone the right to a trial and a due process of law.
