The correct answer is b) The Bill of Rights states that Congress cannot prohibit the practice of religion.

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights, guarantees the freedom of religion. It states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This means that the government cannot establish an official religion or interfere with the practice of any individual's religion. This protection ensures that people in the United States have the freedom to practice their chosen religion without government intervention or persecution.
