Explanation:

To answer this, one must understand the central argument of the majority opinion and then determine which quotations support it. Option B shows lack of interference by petitioners, which likely supports the idea of their rights being unjustly restricted. Option C emphasizes that fear of disturbance is not enough to override freedom of expression, which is a key - point in defending certain rights.
