Answer: C) what might be said
Governments may impose restrictions on assemblies based on how they are conducted, where they take place, and when they occur if those assemblies pose a significant threat to public safety, disrupt public order, or infringe on the rights of others. However, the prohibition of an assembly based solely on "what might be said" goes against the principle of freedom of speech. Barring any incitement to violence or hate speech, which is generally considered outside the scope of protected speech, governments are not supposed to restrict assemblies based on the content of the speech because doing so would infringe on the right to free expression.
