Final answer:

The Fourth Amendment ensures protection from unwarranted searches and seizures.


Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is B. Fourth Amendment.

The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution ensures protection from unwarranted searches and seizures. It guarantees the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, and requires any warrant to be supported by probable cause.

For example, if a police officer wants to search someone's home, they generally need a search warrant based on probable cause, unless there are some exceptions such as in emergency situations or if consent is given.
