The correct answer is B) intermediate-level scrutiny.

If a lawsuit ensues, the standard of review will the court use to resolve the issue will be intermediate-level scrutiny.

The Chicago Cubs baseball club claims a violation of their freedom of speech when the city changed the route and date of its celebration parade. The United States law contemplates that the Courts attend freedom of speech issues under the intermediate-level scrutiny, as was the case in US West Inc. v. the United States, of 1994; or the Am. Library v. Reno in 1994. The Intermediate-level scrutiny is a test used by courts to determine a constitutionality status.

The other options of the question were A) rational basis scrutiny, C) strict scrutiny, and D) not a particular form of scrutiny.
