Answer:

B. The executor of the client's estate

Explanation:

The person who would be allowed to assert this privilege would be the executor of the client's state. An executor is a person who manages the affairs of a deceased person's probate state. This is because privilege does not end at death, and a deceased person can no longer own property. Therefore, all of his property at the time of death must be legally transferred to living beneficiaries.
