A. They are considered a linkage institution.

A linkage institution is the one that serves as a bridge between the people and the government.

These institutions can be interest groups that work for a specific issue related to the people or can also be political parties that take the side of the people to get their issues and problems addressed and solved by the government. The primary function of a linkage institution is to fetch the government's attention towards an issue and pressurize it to resolve the issue.
