Correct answer choice is:

C) When the law is being protested are on constitutional and civil disobedience is protected by the First Amendment.

Explanation:

Civil disobedience is the current, declared rejection of a nation to adopt specific laws, orders, rules or regulations of a state or keeping the foreign law. Civil disobedience is seldom described as having to be peaceful to be called civil disobedience. Civil disobedience is seldom, hence, associated with the peaceful opposition.
