Based on the Lemon Test, the option that would be legal under the First Amendment is:

B. taxpayer money goes to a private religious school in order to pay the salary of a school bus driver.

This option does not involve the government endorsing or promoting a specific religion, as it focuses solely on providing transportation services for students attending the private religious school.
