The correct answer is A. The clear and present danger was adopted by the U.S. Supreme Court after it found the bad tendency test allowed government to punish too much harmless speech.
Explanation:
The rule of clear and present danger is a principle adopted as a standard that restricts freedom of speech and the press. It is a standard used when a court or related agency tries to suppress it with a suspension order, etc. in case it leaks or infringes on the honor or privacy of others. It was first used by Justice Holmes in the Schenck v. United States (1919).
This principle imposes restrictions on the media only if there is a current risk of direct harm, or if the act is intended to cause such harm.
Justice Holmes judged "degree and proximity." In other words, the requirements were assessed to be significant and clear risks (degrees) and clear or present (risk or present).
