She is not required to answer questions that would force her to confess to a crime.

The correct answer for above statement is:

She is not required to answer questions that would force her to confess to a crime

Explanation:

The Fifth Amendment guards you upon self-incrimination (cannot be constrained to affirm upon oneself), authenticates the need of the Grand Jury, guards you against being put twice in danger of wasting life or limb (double jeopardy), preserves your equity to procedural and substantive due process .So in that case she don't need to answer any question of confessing.
