It would be "Your neighbor writes a letter to the mayor about the city's streetlights."

"B"

Reason:

Well, think about it. It say's "Individual", meaning ONE organization, person, etc.

   Your cousin sends money to a friend, I mean like that does involve one person doing the action, though it isn't influencing the government because it is going to your friend, the government doesnt know about what your doing.

    Your neighbor writes a letter to the mayor about the city's streetlights. I mean like it does involve one person, AND it is someone writing to your local government about the streetlights. So, it is influencing the local government to fix them, though others should complain about it also before they do it. They also have to find solutions. So, this could be a possible answer.

   An animal rights organization supports new laws for animal health care. I mean, this does influence the government, but shouldn't the state already have know about the situtation and is already taking care of the problem, which is why we have animal hospital's, animal shelters to help take care of them, and even provide food resources and water resources. So, some government officials would think that the state is responsible for this as long as the federal government provides money. Meaning, this POSSIBLY isnt an answer.

    A television station airs a speech by a candidate for an election position. This doesn't influence an official because it is just someone trying to convince to being elected, but this is not influencing anything. Meaning that this is not an answer.

- So far we know two answers are not it "A" & "D" but "B" & "C" are still available. But, to me, I think B is going to be the best answer you pick.

So to me the answer is B. I will leave in the comments if I got it right on the test I'm taking right now.

The correct answer is letter B

Despite the fact that the Internet is at its peak, it is television that still maintains the first place in the ranking in terms of easy access to the vast majority of the population.

In the current context, a politician needs to know how to use the available means, to expose his government proposals, if he does not know, this will result in a possible "disqualification" to competition from public office. One of the “weapons” that are being used the most for easy accession in the political area is that the candidate becomes a celebrity or is already a celebrity, in the television field, as an example actors / presenters. And certainly being popular contributes to that politician who wants to be voted, being the “good guy” of a certain program ends up influencing the voter's decision, because the image that the television “character” marks in the mind of the viewer that in many cases chooses “Celebrities” for considering that it will solve your simplest problems, such as the implementation of projects in your neighborhood and other activities that benefit you quickly and without direct cost.
