The test for determining if a law could pass establishment clause scrutiny includes three prongs: (1) the law must have a secular legislative purpose, (2) the law's primary effect must not be to advance or inhibit religion, and (3) the law must not foster excessive government entanglement with religion. The option A, which allows the state to pay for religious teachers, would violate the first prong of the test.
