A) executive branch

B) legislative branch

C) judicial branch

D) all of these are targets of lobbying

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Lobbying activities are directed at the executive, legislative and judicial branch of government.

Explanation:

A lobby group is a more or less organized collective, which, with various strategies, seeks to influence public administrations, judges and legislatures, so that when they make decisions they do it in their own best interests or those of the people who they represent. Lobbyists do not usually get involved in politics directly (which is why they do not usually form their own political party), but they try to gain the complicity of some political group that may end up accepting or defending the lobbyist's goals.
