Answer 1

The correct answer is C) intermediate scrutiny test.

A law that placed restrictions on courses girls could take in high school would be evaluated by the courts using the intermediate scrutiny test.

We are talking about the kind of test the Court uses to determine the constitutionality of a statute. When the members of the Court need to make a decision, this test is a tool they have to help them decide if a statute passed by the federal government or a state affects in a negative way some protected classes such as the case of the courses girls could take in high school.
