The correct answer here is
B.


Griswold v. Connecticut was the first major Supreme
Court decision to propound a Constitutional right to privacy.  Of course, such a right
is nowhere to be found in the explicit language of the Bill of Rights.  In
Griswold the Court found this right in the "penumbras" of the
amendments that you mention.  The Court ruled that the amendments that you mention all
imply that there is a right to privacy.  The reasoning was
that, for example, the idea that you have a 4th Amendment right against searches and
seizures implies that you have a more general right to
privacy.


For this reason, B is the correct
answer.
