Explanation:

The First Amendment of the US Constitution protects the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of speech. Option D states this protection, while A is incorrect (protests don't need government approval), B is incorrect (government can't stop protests just for disagreeing with the message), and C is irrelevant (no neighbor permission needed for protesting).

Answer:

D. The First Amendment protects the right to assemble peacefully to express opinions
