Explanation:

• The Fifth Amendment protects against self - incrimination. Officers cannot pressure a person to confess (so the first option is wrong).
• The Miranda decision (Miranda v. Arizona) requires officers to communicate a person's rights (right to remain silent, right to an attorney) before questioning a person in custody (second option is correct).
• The "public safety" exception (New York v. Quarles) allows officers to question someone immediately if public safety is at risk (third option is correct).
• The Miranda warnings do not have to be in exact words as long as the same meaning is communicated (fourth option is correct).
• Officers cannot create different sets of rules for different groups of citizens as it would violate equal protection (fifth option is wrong).

B. Officers must communicate a person's rights to before questioning the person in custody.
