B. No, the ordinance violates the First Amendment not the dormant commerce clause.

D. No, this is a federal commerce clause violation and does not deal with any state interests.
E. Yes, this is a violation but a federal court would most likely find that the commerce clause was violated instead of the dormant commerce clause.
