Answer:

B The Fourth Amendment

Explanation:

The fourth Amendment states

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and 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.

This means it is a violation for officers to brake into someone's house just because they suspect something.

They have to have a search warrant and probable cause to enter.
