Answer:

The correct option is d

Step-by-step explanation:

The major objective of lobbyists is to persuade or convince politicians (especially legislators) into passing/voting for bills or making laws to satisfy the interest of some groups or individuals. This action (referred to as lobbying) influences the legislation in favour of these groups. Though, they might also influence the legislators into speeding up the process of a bill but that is rarely the case.

Several interest groups employ the services of these lobbyists for there respective personal interests.
