Explanation:

The passage states that the First Amendment grants the freedom of religion, which includes the right to worship or not worship as one pleases, protecting against religious coercion. This directly aligns with the option "right to worship without interference". The other options ("obligation to follow a specific religion", "government imposition of religious beliefs", "exclusion of religious practices") are contrary to the concept of freedom of religion as described (which is about freedom of choice, not obligation, imposition, or exclusion).
