so A? just to double check
I agree with A. :)
To find out where Justice William O. Douglas argued that zones of privacy can be found in the Constitution, we need to refer to his writings or statements on the matter. One notable reference to privacy in constitutional interpretation can be found in the Supreme Court case of Griswold v. Connecticut (1965). In this case, Justice Douglas wrote a concurring opinion and mentioned the concept of zones of privacy.
According to Justice Douglas, the right to privacy isn't explicitly mentioned in the Constitution but is instead derived from the penumbras (shadows) and emanations (implied rights) of various constitutional protections. This concept of the right to privacy being found in the penumbras of the Bill of Rights is the answer choice B.
So, the correct answer is B. In the penumbras of the Bill of Rights.
