Hello, the correct answer option is;

C. Focusing only on group members' goals.

Explanation:

An interest group is an association of people that share similar interest and are working towards attaining the goals of the group and gaining the public policy favor. Some disadvantages of interest groups are that they concentrate at the perspectives of the minority and they are only beneficial for themselves. In this case, lobbing heavily for fewer regulations on high fructose corn syrup will be focusing on the group's goals instead of the public's concern because studies have already indicated that it's unhealthy.

Best of Luck!
