Answer: B. Interest groups seek to influence government policy and legislation without being elected.

Explanation:

Interest groups are known to be groups made up of people that have similar interest. These set of people come together to influence government policy and legislation by giving out financial assistance to their choice of candidate for election or re-election and campaign for their choice of party in order to win in the general election. Thus, they also educate and inform the public on the need to vote for the right candidate and meet with members of the legislation to discuss about the negative and positive consequences or outcome of proposed law.
