Cevap

Speech becomes illegal in the UK when it is used to encourage others to commit a crime or to stir up hatred against a specific religious group.
The correct answer accurately reflects the statutory limits mentioned in the official handbook. Freedom of speech does not protect those who use it to incite others to commit crimes or to stir up hatred against specific groups based on their religion or race.
