A fire is set in a crowded theater. The police believe that the fire was purposefully set. They arrest a suspect who confesses to the crime.

According to Miranda v. Arizona, what would cause the suspect's confession to not be allowed in a court of law?

If an attorney was not present during questioning because the suspect refused one
If the suspect was not told of the right to remain silent about what happened
If the fire was put out quickly with no harm done to the theater or anyone in it
If the suspect did not commit the crime but confessed to cover for the actual criminal
