The correct answer is B. puts public safety at immediate risk.
In New York v. Quarles (1983), the Supreme Court established that law enforcement could forego reading a suspect their Miranda rights if there is an immediate concern for public safety.

This ruling allows officers to ensure the safety of the community while still making necessary inquiries related to potential threats.
