First Amendment.
Fourth Amendment.
Sixth Amendment.

The correct answer is: Fourth Amendment.

The First Amendment pertains to freedom of speech and religion, the Sixth Amendment pertains to the right to a fair and speedy trial, and the Eighth Amendment pertains to protection from excessive bail and cruel and unusual punishment. None of these amendments specifically mention the right to protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, making B the correct answer.
