B) the implied protection of a right under a more broad constitutional protection

Explanation:

Penumbra refers to rights that are understood after certain principles are identified from other rights that are explicitly expressed in the Constitution or in a rule. According to this, the answer is that penumbra is the implied protection of a right under a more broad constitutional protection.

The other options are not right because a penumbra is protected in the Constitution but it is not clearly indicated.
