Solution
The correct option is B Pressure group
A
pressure group is an organised group that does not put up candidates for
election, but seeks to influence government policy or legislation. The aim of pressure
groups is to influence the people who actually have the power to make
decisions. Pressure groups do not look for the power of political office for
themselves, but do seek to influence the decisions made by those who do hold
this political power. Mostly, pressure groups find themselves competing with
rival pressure groups with the aim of gaining an advantage over them, but
sometimes groups work together to achieve a common aim.
