Read the below passage carefully and answer the questions:

Some groups want to outlaw burning the flag. They say that people have fought and died for the flag and that citizens of the United States ought to respect that. But I say that respect cannot be leg-islated. Also, most citizens who have served in the military did not fight for the flag, they fought for what the flag represents. Among the things the flag represents is freedom of speech, which includes, I believe, the right for a citizen to express displeasure with the government by burning the flag in protest.

Which of the following best expresses the main point of the passage?

AOnly veterans care about the flag-burning issue.

BFlag burning almost never happens, so outlawing it is a waste of time.

CFlag burning will be a very important issue in the next election.

DTo outlaw flag burning is to outlaw what the flag represents.

EBurning the flag should only be illegal when it is done in foreign countries.
