The Miranda v. Arizona case established that the Fifth Amendment's protection against self-incrimination applies to police interrogations and confessions. This means that police are required to inform suspects of their Miranda rights (right to remain silent, right to an attorney, etc.) before any interrogation takes place to ensure that the suspect knows they have the right to remain silent and not incriminate themselves. The other choices (A, B, D) are related to police conduct but not specifically related to the Fifth Amendment.
