Answer:

B) having police search your home without cause

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects people's privacy by guaranteeing their right to be secure in their "persons, houses, papers, and effects" and by putting limitations on the government: it requires law enforcement officers or the police to obtain a search warrant before it could enter a person's property or go through their belongings. This search warrant, however, first has to meet certain conditions, as the statute asserts: “no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
