Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The Supreme Court has not given full protection to fighting words because they are not part of the essential exposition of ideas. Fighting words are those words that are likely to provoke an immediate violent reaction from the listener, and as such, are not considered to be a legitimate form of expression protected under the First Amendment.
