The standard of review in which the government must prove the law is justified by a compelling government interest is known as D. Strict Scrutiny.

Explanation:

The most rigorous standard of judicial review in American constitutional law is called strict scrutiny. The government needs to prove that a law or a regulation is justified and necessary to a compelling state interest. Also, the government needs to prove that such law or regulation is properly adjusted to achieve the compelling purpose, as well as that it uses the least restrictive means to do so.
