Jayla Lane · Answer 2

The correct answer is A) Interests groups may donate as much money as they wish to individual political candidates.

The statement that id not true about the activities of interests groups is "Interests groups may donate as much money as they wish to individual political candidates."

The activities of interests groups are aimed to influence or direct government policies and legislation. Interests groups have their own agenda and tried to influence politics to gain power. Among the activities that they do to influence we find are to lobby public officials to vote for laws that favor their groups, can support political campaigns for candidates they like, and they try to educate people on their issues through advertising. But what they cannot do is donate as much money as they wish to individual political candidates."
