• A. Two
• B. Three
• C. Four
• D. Five

Answer: (C)

The crucial concept here is the four-factor test courts use to grant a preliminary injunction against government actions, like revoking a permit. When a plaintiff seeks to stop a municipality from pulling a permit, the court typically weighs four elements: first, the likelihood of success on the merits on the underlying claim; second, irreparable harm if the injunction is not granted (harm that money damages cannot adequately fix); third, the balance of equities, meaning which party would suffer more harm from granting or denying the injunction; and fourth, the public interest, reflecting how the injunction would affect the community at large. In GJZ Enterprises v. City of Troy, the court explicitly listed four requirements, so the correct count is four. The other numbers don’t fit because the established standard involves four distinct considerations, not two, three, or five.
