Answer 2

B is the correct answer.

An amicus brief is a brief that can be filed by any interested party on a matter before a court. In it, the interest group will state their relationship to the issue and state why they believe what they believe. These are legal documents and will likely be written by lawyers, even if the interest group is not a legal group.
