Answer
A
the right to a court-appointed attorney.
B
the right to remain silent after an arrest.
C
the use of incriminating statements.
D
the use of illegally obtained evidence.

Explanation

Mapp v. Ohio applied the exclusionary rule to state courts. This rule generally prevents illegally obtained evidence from being used in a criminal trial, so the case was about the use of illegally obtained evidence. The right to an attorney and protection against self-incrimination were addressed in other landmark Warren Court cases.
