The correct answer is D. It prevents the government from holding or searching citizens without authorization from a judge.

Explanation:

The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution was approved in 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights. This Amendment focused on restricting the government from arresting and searching citizens. Indeed, it proposes this cannot be done if there is not a probable cause or enough reasons/evidence to arrest someone or demand a search along with an authorization from a judge or similar authority. This amendment is related to the privacy of the individuals and different laws that regulate legal processes. Therefore, this amendment "prevents the government from holding or searching citizens" (Option D).
