The correct answer is D.) Court clerks refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

The definition of grassroots activism is a movement that is born out of the personal convictions of an individual or a group of individuals about a particular issue and that is not originated in the will of an established political movement or leader (s). It is considered that a grassroots movement is spontaneously created by the will of ordinary citizens who want to make their voices hear about a particular issue and although its later stages may involve participation of political groups or leaders, the initiative for its inception was the concerns of ordinary citizens. This answer is a direct reference to the case of Sandra Davis, a Kentucky country Clerk that refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses due to her own personal convictions and in the name of "religious liberty". Her initiative was purely personal and was not the result of organized political efforts.

Grassroots activism is a form of activism that arises out of individual consciousness about a particular issue that is majorly a social concern. Individualism lies at the core of grassroots activism, as strong personal convictions and opinions of a few people can stir up a movement concerning social issues that do not have any political connotations. Grassroots activism is, therefore, the mobilizing of personal opinions of several like-minded people, who are motivated to make their voices heard to bring a social change that has been desired or has become a necessity of time.  

Further Explanation-

Grassroots activism is often devoid of any attachment of concrete political support, but with the mobilization of public opinion, a certain political party might choose to provide the movement with a platform, and thereby engage in it actively, obviously for the purpose of furthering their own political agendas. Some of the famous accounts that serve an example of grassroots activism are the rise of consciousness among women for the right to vote, and the recent consciousness among the society regarding the granting of rights for homosexual couples, and the recognition of the rights of the LGBTQ Community. We can also use the case of Sandra Davis, who refused to recognize the legality of same-sex marriage on the grounds of religious liberty. Mobilization may occur in the form of local activism seeking approval for the cause in question, which may become a national or international issue depending on the nature of the issue, the strength of mobilization and the course of the movement. It has to be noted that grassroots movements do not conform to a traditional hierarchical structure of power, rather it is more of expressions of a conscious demand that emerges simultaneously during the course of the movement. Grassroots activism is important as it draws public attention to issues within the society that otherwise gets overshadowed by political and economic issues but is nevertheless crucial information of a politically sound, progressive society.
