C. stating rights in the Bill of Rights does not mean these are the only rights of citizens

Explanation:

The ninth amendment belonged to the Bill of rights. Bill of rights was added to the constitution on December 15, 1791. It states that the rights not mentioned in the constitution belong to the people.

It means that people do have other rights and their rights are not limited to the ones listed in the constitution or we can say that if a list of people's rights is mentioned in the constitution it doesn't mean that the government can take away other rights of the people that are not mentioned in the constitution.

So, people can have more rights than the ones mentioned in the constitution and option (C) is an example of those rights.
