The correct answer is D. Many believe that the Patriot Act interferes with citizen's liberty and violates their privacy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The US PATRIOT Act is a US law passed in 2001 as a result of the attacks of September 11, 2001. The law is very complicated and comprehensive, with 158 sections and 15 amendments to the law, including in criminal procedure, computer crime, intelligence, interception and immigration. It also deals with financial support for victims of terrorism, increased payments to emergency service staff and the fight against fraud by contributing to charities following a terrorist attack. However, the law has been controversial because it gave the police authorities a greater opportunity to monitor and arrest terrorist suspects without charge or trial.
