The correct answer is B) deny other rights to the people.


The 9th amendment of the US Constitution is focused on ensuring that the rights of individual citizens are not violated. This amendment ensures that just because a right is not given directly to citizens, it does not mean the government can't violate individual rights. The goal of this amendment is to protect citizens rights in any issue that has not already been addressed in the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
