Answer 1

Answer:

A. To provide advance notice that formal rule making may be forthcoming

Explanation:

The Rules/Regulations by the government do not always able to be accepted directly by the citizens.

When the government is expecting such situation they tend to use informal agency actions to prepare the citizens that a certain type of law might be coming in the future.

This provide two benefits for the government:

1. The government could gauge initial reaction from the public. If they sense that it potentially lead to massive riots, they can either cancel or postpone the decision.

2. It is aimed to make the citizens prepare themselves for the upcoming law.
