Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

Sometimes political parties are formed out of movements

Certain groups and organisations with similar interests may come together to influence policies. Sometimes political parties are born out of movements. For example, the Aam Aadmi Party emerged due to the Jan Lokpal Bill protests against corruption. In general, movements need to have a clearly defined objective, be influenced by strong leadership and require active participation.
