Answer: b.

Explanation: Administrative searches are typically carried out by government agents or inspectors (a true), often involve consent or an administrative warrant or statutory inspection scheme (c generally true), and usually do not require the probable cause standard that criminal searches do (d true). They are aimed at regulatory/administrative enforcement—not primarily to enforce criminal law—so statement b is not true.
