The right answer is: D. To protect the rights of citizens against the abuses the British had committed. The right against self-incrimination comes from the puritan´s refusal to collaborate with interrogators in seventeenth-century England. They were usually coerced or tortured to confess their religion affiliation and were considered guilty if they were silent. English law granted its citizens the right against self-incrimination in the mid-seventeenth century, when a revolution established greater parliamentary  power.
