The best avenue forward for this citizen is: B) speak at a public hearing

That way, the public can hear what the citizen has to say and the citizen stands up and makes their voice known. They will also be recorded "on the record"

Answer:

B) speak at a public hearing

Explanation:

A public hearing is a meeting held by a committee of the legislature that includes the participation of civil society, public bodies and entities to instruct and debate the consideration of any proposition in progress or to address a matter of public interest. Therefore, it is a space for topics to be discussed by all stakeholders, including ordinary citizens. Thus, a public hearing is the appropriate place for a citizen to give his or her opinion on a public policy proposal.
