Government, if it wants to prove any prior restraint to be applied the speech that the government declares is presented in a clear and identifiable danger. So, the correct option is C.

The restrictions that a government wants to apply can be portrayed to the general public in very clear and identifiable manner that a threat is really a concerned matter.

For example if there is a demonetization in the country to curb the rate of corruption in the nation, the speech by the supreme leader of the country must clearly state that govt. considers it as threat.

Such threat of corruption should be conveyed to public in simple terms that explains that corruptions can lead to downfall in the economy. Another example is of a pandemic that has hit the country.

If there is a need to instate lockdown in the country to avoid virus outbreak, the speech has to be clearly indicative of threats and deaths that can take place due to such virus.

Hence, the correct option is C that the speech of the government has to be clearly identifying the danger about prior restraint that has to be applied for control of situations.
