Explanation:

In the Tinker v. Des Moines case, the key constitutional - related issue was about the balance between students' free - speech rights and school authorities' power to maintain order. The Supreme Court ruled that schools can only limit student speech if there are reasonable grounds to fear that it will cause a substantial disruption. Other factors like if other students were bothered, the general right of schools to limit freedoms, or the age of students were not as central as the potential for disruption.

Answer:

D. Whether the district had grounds to fear a disruption
