Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Emergency searches in general do not require warrants based on the concept that it is sometimes impractical, and could even be dangerous, to require police to obtain a warrant before the search. General examples of emergency searches are to prevent destruction of evidence, to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect, to deal with a potential immediate danger to the community, and to ensure officers' safety.

The first two do not require warrants because it would be impractical to require them. The last two do not require warrants because of safety considerations.
