Answer 2

B). The government keeps records of a host of personal information on Americans.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Patriot Act is a piece of law that primarily aims to 'unite and strengthen America by offering appropriate tools necessary to intercept and combat terrorism.'

As per the question, some Americans defy this law despite its security benefits as the 'government keeps records of a host of personal information of Americans' which might seem to them as an invasion of privacy. This law often allows the officials to investigate or imprison the people who have never been into a criminal investigation before which is unlawful and illegal at the same time. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
