An interest group (also called an advocacy group, lobbying group, pressure group, or special interest) is a group, however loosely or tightly organized, that is determined to encourage or prevent changes in public policy without trying to be elected. So based off this knowledge, we can eliminate C. :) I don't think it's A or B because they are more concerned with change and advocacy than a "free time" thing. So going with this definition, I'd go with D ;)

Most interest groups are formed because members want the government to pay attention to a concern that they share.

An interest group also refered to as pressure group is understood as an association of individuals who have a common interest and work together in order to protect and promote that interest by influencing the government. Interest groups are of different size, and have diverse aims, and tactics. Political scientists usually divide interest groups into two categories: economic and noneconomic
