With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". L.Ed.2d 554 (2000); Roberts v. U.S. Jaycees, 468 U.S. 609, 617-18, 104 S.Ct. 3244, 82 L.Ed.2d 462 (1984). The Associations claim that serving as an official proponent is protected by the Free Speech Clause, and thus that they have a right to associate for the purpose of serving as official proponents. Thus, if serving as an official proponent is not an aspect of free speech, the condition imposed by the elector requirement does not violate the associational rights of the First Amendment. See Dale, 530 U.S. at 648, 120 S.Ct. 2446 (“To determine whether a group is protected by the First Amendment’s expressive associational right, we must determine whether the group engages in ‘expressive association.’”); City of Dallas v. Stanglin, 490 U.S. 19, 25, 109 S.Ct. 1591, 104 L.Ed.2d 18 (1989) (<HOLDING>). Because the Associations’ claim regarding

A: recognizing first amendment retaliation right
B: holding that where the first amendment does not protect a certain activity there can be no first amendment right of association to engage in that activity
C: holding that the first amendment does not protect true threats against the president
D: holding first amendment does not protect nonexpressive conduct
