The correct answer is " c. the police must read a suspect his or her rights before questioning." - specifically, the police must inform the person being arrested that they have a right to remain silent - this is often portrayed in the movies ("you have the right to remain silent").

The name comes from the Miranda vs. Arizona case of 1966.
