Miranda warnings are warnings that police must read to suspects prior to questioning that advises them of their rights. 'you have the right to remain silent'.

• A. Warnings about rights given after arrest
• B. The right to counsel at the time of arrest
• C. Warnings read to suspects prior to questioning that advise them of their rights
• D. Requirements to obtain a search warrant

Answer: (C)

Miranda warnings protect a suspect’s Fifth Amendment rights by ensuring they understand they may remain silent and may have an attorney before any questioning. The statement that warnings must be read to suspects prior to questioning and that they inform them of their rights describes both the timing and the content of Miranda warnings. The timing matters because the warnings are required during custodial interrogation to keep statements admissible; without them, statements can be suppressed. Warnings given after arrest miss the critical before-questioning moment. Saying the right to counsel alone is addressed at arrest but doesn’t capture the full scope of the warnings, and requirements to obtain a search warrant are unrelated to the advisement of rights during interrogation.
