Hugo Johnston · Answer 1

The answer is B. Do not want to be forced to testify against themselves. This is referring to the fifth amendment. If you say I plead the fifth, it means that you don't want to answer the question that could make you look guilty.

Armani Barnett · Answer 2

When you plead the fifth, it's referring the the 5th amendment against self-incrimination so you are refusing to speak.
