Hold on, isn't C) Mugler v Kansas about prohibition laws? I don't think that's related to free speech at all. What a weird choice!

I'm leaning towards D) Young v. American Mini Theaters. That case involved zoning restrictions on adult theaters, which the court deemed unconstitutional.

I think A) Metromedia v City of San Diego also dealt with restrictions on outdoor advertising, which could be seen as limiting free speech.
