For the government to restrict speech, the imminent lawless action test requires:

A. that the speech alone might lead to lawless action
B. that the speech must actually be likely to produce lawless action
C. that the speech must be accompanied by threatening gestures
D. that the speech must be directed at inciting or producing imminent lawless action
E. that it satisfy two criteria for speech advocating the unlawful use of force

Correct option is D) The imminent lawless action test requires that speech must be directed at inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to produce such action to be restricted.

For the government to restrict speech under the imminent lawless action test established in Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), the requirement is d. that the speech must be directed at inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action. This standard means that the speech in question must not just advocate for violence or lawlessness in a general sense, but it must be aimed specifically at stirring up immediate unlawful behavior. Additionally, there must be a high likelihood that the speech will actually lead to such lawless action.

This standard reflects the Supreme Court's distinction between general advocacy, which is protected under the First Amendment, and direct incitement of imminent lawless action, which is not protected. For example, speaking about the overthrow of the government in abstract terms is considered protected speech, whereas making threats or directly calling for specific actions to accomplish it is not.
