The correct answer is A) expanded the government's right to monitor private communications.

The Patriot Act, which was passed by Congress following the September 11th attacks, expanded the government's right to monitor private communications.

On October 26, 2001, United States President George W. Bush signed into law the Patriot Act. It was one of the immediate answers of the US government after the terrorist attacks of September 11. The Act improved the resources and abilities of the government to fight terrorism. The act allowed federal agents to record private communications to track suspects.
