Answer:

B. Requiring a permit in advance to hold an assembly, such as a parade or concert, in public area, is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The first amendment is a good example of restricting individual rights for ensuring that other peoples' rights are respected. The first amendment guarantees the right to freedom of religion, speech, petition, this amendment also provides the government with the right to abrogate the freedom of speech. Although the freedom of speech may appear to be just, an individual's behavior may affect other people. In such cases, the government can make laws for protecting the individual liberty of another person. The government can restrict individual rights as and when necessary. So making it mandatory to have a permit in advance to hold an assembly, such as a parade or concert in a public areas is the correct answer.
