Answer: C, I think.

Explanation: The whole point of free speech is that you can have any opinion, and that you can state it. Therefore, it would not be reasonable to restrict the claims in A B and C because that would be putting down other opinions. In answer C, the person is not trying to stop other opinions, they are causing unnecessary havoc. I hope this answers your question. :)
