Answer
A
require probable cause
B

C
contain a gag order provision
D

Explanation

National Security Letters can require certain organizations to provide records without a judge finding probable cause or approving the request in advance. They also commonly include a nondisclosure requirement, often called a gag order, that restricts the recipient from telling others about the letter. Therefore, the correct choice is “contain a gag order provision.”
