C is the correct option.

Explanation:

The first amendment protects basic liberties such as freedom of religion speech, petition, assembly, and press. The interpretation of the first amendment is complex and different court cases had tried to define the limits of these freedoms. The definition of this freedom has evolved and this process is still continuing today. Freedom of speech is the most important liberty mentioned under the first amendment.
