Answer:

b. It is a political contribution not regulated by federal law.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1974 the Federal Election Campaign Act limited the quantity of money that individuals could donate to a particular candidate. This produced the so-called Soft Money which are contributions to a political party (not candidate) and the use of such money is hardly regulated by the law.
