Answer:

C. Lobbying draws attention to minority groups' concerns, but it is not effective on the state or local levels of government.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lobbying is endeavoring to impact choices made by an open authority — typically to pass or destruction enactment. Lobbyists are experts contracted by a specific vested party to speak to their interests to Congress.
