B) The prayers are allowed because these events are attended by more adults than minors.
C) The Court failed to rule on the specific issue of prayer but discouraged it because of the public nature of the event.
D) Even though attendance is voluntary, the prayer is unconstitutional because the attendees are forced to participate and because it appears to be a state endorsement of religion.
