According to the Constitution, when and where can a person’s property, residence, or body be searched by government authority?

The Fourth Amendment protects people, their homes, and their belongings from unreasonable searches and seizures. A search generally requires a warrant supported by probable cause, though recognized exceptions include items in plain view and urgent circumstances that threaten public safety. Choice C is the closest match; A incorrectly says the warrant must come from a non-government authority, and D ignores lawful searches under a warrant or an exception.
