Final answer:

The Fifth Amendment gives individuals the right to refuse to answer questions under Article V to prevent self-incrimination, commonly known as 'taking the fifth', forming part of the rights described in the Miranda Rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under Article V of the Constitution, particularly in the context of the Fifth Amendment, individuals have the right to refuse to answer questions that may incriminate themselves. This concept of not having to provide self-incriminating testimony is popularly known as “taking the fifth.” If you are questioned by law enforcement or other government entities, you can invoke this right to protect against self-incrimination. Essentially, you have the right to remain silent, knowing anything you say can be used against you in a court of law, as laid out in the Miranda Rights.
