Answer: D

Explanation: The 4th Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures without probable cause. Meaning, unless there is a warrant that specifically states who/what is being searched, the Government, or anyone, is not constitutionally allowed to search you. Therefore, the FBI can not examine someone's phone without consent or a search warrant.
