I have to match them to these options:

A. The test used by federal courts when reviewing whether the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendement is violated by laws or regulations that limit or deny individuals'"fundamental rights" or that discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, or religion. Under this test, government must have a "compelling interest" that justifies the law or regulation.

B. The test used by federal courts when reviewing whether laws and regulations dealing with economic matters violate the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. On this test, laws and regulations will be upheld if they have a rational basis.

C. The test generally used by federal courts whether laws and regulations involving nonracial discrimination violates the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. Under this test, discrimination on the basis of gender, age, or wealth is unconstitutional unless it furthers some legitimate government interest in a reasonable way.
