Answer
A
The city government was endorsing a religion.
B
The display respected the beliefs of other religions.
C
The city government had the right to free exercise of religion.
D
The display did not stop people from observing other religious practices.

Explanation

The Establishment Clause limits government actions that establish or endorse religion. The group could argue that the city’s religious display made the government appear to favor or endorse a religion. The other choices concern respect for different beliefs, free exercise, or whether people could practice other religions; those do not state the group’s Establishment Clause argument.
