According to the Fourth Amendment, what must the government do to legally search a person’s property?

The Fourth Amendment generally requires the government to obtain a search warrant based on probable cause before searching a person’s property. Some exceptions allow searches without a warrant, but among these choices, “have a search warrant” is the correct answer. Calling the police, giving advance notice, or getting a guilty verdict does not by itself authorize a search.
