Answer: The fifth amendment allows the suspect to "plead the 5th," meaning they would prefer not to answer, neither confirming nor denying what they did or didn't do. The 5th amendment allows the suspect to not testify against oneself.

Step-by-step explanation:

I used a bit of background knowledge and searching, as I don't know the site relating to this. Good luck, and keep learning.
