Answer 1

Answer:

B) defenders

Explanation:

The term defenders is used to describe corporations that defend or protect only their interests without any regard for the interests of the general public (or the country). Corporations that act as defenders tend to make changes only when legally compelled to do so, and only after they did everything they could to stop any regulation that affected them.
