The correct answer to the question is: OA. a public protest that breaks the windows of businesses.
Explanation:
1. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects various rights, including freedom of speech, religion, and peaceful assembly.
2. Option OA, a public protest that breaks the windows of businesses, involves a violent act (breaking windows) during a protest. While peaceful protests are protected by the First Amendment, violent actions that harm others or damage property are not protected.
3. Option OB, students voluntarily gathering to pray at a public high school, is protected under the First Amendment as it pertains to freedom of religion and the right to assemble peacefully.
4. Option OC, people marching in favor of racial discrimination, while morally wrong, is generally protected under the First Amendment as it falls under freedom of speech and assembly, unless it incites violence or poses a direct threat.
5. Option OD, a church being exempt from paying property taxes, is also protected under the First Amendment as it relates to the separation of church and state and freedom of religion.
In summary, violent actions during a public protest, such as breaking windows, are NOT protected under the First Amendment.
