Answer:

B- Superficial, applied more in the abstract than in reality.

Explanation:

It's not unlikely to hear or read about protests or claims of freedom of speech. Usually, this is a claim of freedom of speech...as long as you think like the person.

Freedom of speech is the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, by any means. This already exists, and yet we encounter that people aren't tolerant against diversity (sexism, racism, homofobia, etc), leaving out option A and D. Not in every democracy we find freedom of speech; many times the opposition is censured or worse, leaving out option C.

The constant in all this scenarios is that freedom of speech is applied only in the speech, in ideas, but not in the action.
