In vernonia school district v. acton, the school district argued that
o
a drug test was illegal under any circumstances.
no student could refuse to take a drug test.
drug tests were not given at random.
drug testing was necessary to protect all students

The correct answer is the last statement: drug testing was necessary to protect all students.

Explanation:

The Vernonia School District argued for the random drug-testing of athletes saying that it was important to protect all students of the school. It was an important action because according to the school there was an epidemic drug-use among students.

The school also argued that athletes were the leaders of this drug-use culture and that they were the most important ones to be tested since they were frequently in situations during sports when drug-use could cause harm to other people.
