Answer:

The correct answer is A. "Local Citizens Group Persuades City Council to Extend School Year"

Step-by-step explanation:

An interest group is an organization or group of people who share the same interest, point of view or concern. The aim of such an organization is to influence public opinion and to lobby government for the benefit of its members. Organizations such as trade unions, professional associations, and charities can all act as interest groups. The common interest group operates indirectly, either by drawing on the strength of its membership such as petitions and protests, or by publishing reports and ballots to argue its case. The most powerful factions - for example those with the largest number of members or which have expert authority - are identified by political access, that is the ability to directly press government by advising on particular issues or close links with politicians and civil servants.
