Answer:

D - To understand that anything they say can be held against then in court, and they also have the right to remain silent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Miranda Warning is a police warning which is given to criminal suspects who are in the custody of law enforcement in the United States before they can ask questions regarding what took place during the crime. It is important and a legal right for juveniles because to protect the suspect's Fifth Amendment right to refuse to answer self-incriminating questions.
