Officers arrested Wright for robbery and took him to the police station, but Wright refused to discuss the robbery. The next day, without a search warrant, an undercover officer went to his house and falsely introduced himself to Wright's wife as her husband's accomplice in the robbery and told her that he was there to collect his share.

B) the money is inadmissible because the wife lacks authority to consent for her husband.
C) the money is admissible because the wife's consent is voluntary.
