D. Privacy as a legal doctrine is stated and protected overtly in American founding document.

Explanation:

The US constitution does not include the right to privacy. Although the supreme court accepts that the first, third, Fourth and fifth amendment implicitly grants the right to privacy against governmental intrusion. The court has used right to privacy as justification for the decisions in civil liberties cases. With technological changes searching a persons name on Goggle's Ad word without the persons consent has raised various privacy issues. Several states has enacted social media and right to privacy laws. e. California's "Online Erasure". US is still far behind EU in protecting a persons privacy online.
