Answer:

C. The right to be free unless charged with a crime

Step-by-step explanation:

Habeas Corpus protects against unlawful and indefinite imprisonment. Basically, a person who has been arrested has the right to go to court and have the court decide if his detainment is legal. If it's illegal that person must be set free.
