Katz v. United States overruled the decision in Olmstead v. United States (1928), which held that wiretapping a telephone line did not constitute a search under the Fourth Amendment because there was no physical trespass onto someone's property. Therefore, B is the correct answer. Goldstein v. United States (1942) upheld the seizure of a hotel register without a warrant, Silberman v. United States (1961) dealt with the seizure of evidence in an open field and did not address the reasonable expectation of privacy in public places, and Clinton v. Virginia (1964) involved the admissibility of evidence obtained by electronic surveillance of a vehicle.
