The answer is: D. because interest groups demand that they are heard on certain issues

Interest groups are known for their advocacy on certain issues in which they have concerns, opinions or ideas. These groups have a major influence on public opinion, policy creation and modification.

With that in mind, it would beneficial for legislators to ask interest groups for their help in shaping public policy since they speak for what the large part the community demands.
