Hi Sujit
IMO answer to the above question is C.
But i used strengthening technique to get to the answer. I could not find the line for completing the argument. Believing that it is towards the end i have answered the question.

Some teenagers, citing Freedom of Speech, say they oppose parents and teachers who chastise them for speaking their mind, provided what they say is their opinion, is honest, and is not derogatory to any of their peers or guardians. The authors of the Amendments to the Constitution made no such provisions. Freedom of speech carries with it no responsibility to meet standards of honesty or respect or truth, especially those established by outside arbiters: students, teachers, and parents.

Doesn't this line help answer the question? if you ask yourself why after that statement, only C answers the question.

+1 Kudo. Its difficult question, I went wrong on first read. Convinced with OA.

Teachers and parents chastise the teenagers for speaking their opinion, which is honest and not derogatory. Teenagers oppose this fact.
-> Open minded speech should not be dishonest and derogatory. BUT, constitution made no such provisions.
=> Speech may be dishonest or derogatory. (implied meaning)<<- Answer.

constitution tells that "The speech should carry no responsibility to meet standards of honesty,respect or truth, when it is spoken by outside arbiters. ".. Idea can be extended by saying Speech is open to be dishonest and derogatory.. only Option (C) says this.

In my opinion C, because in the passage it is mentioned that the Person beats no responsibility, hence the Person does not have to think if it Alriht to say certain things

(C) One's speech is free to be as "dishonest" and "derogatory" as one wishes.

only C is logically matched... IMO
