Answer 1

Answer:

D. Collectively voice concerns and lobby the government on specific issues.

• Collective Action: This model uses technology, such as online petitions, social media campaigns, and email blasts, to mobilize a large number of people around a common cause.

• Targeted Communication: It allows citizens to directly communicate with and pressure government officials or agencies on matters that concern them, such as environmental policies or public health issues.

• Empowerment: E-advocacy provides a platform for individuals and groups to influence public policy and decision-making, even without direct access to traditional lobbying methods.
