Answer 1

Answer:

A. a group of political activists who organize to win elections, operate the government, and determine public policy is your best answer.

Explanation:

Political Party's can structure two ways. The first way is through policy (such as many of the political party's today), while the other way is through a candidate (such as the Bull Moose Party). A political party is where like-minded people (at least on most of the policies) congregate together to push for their agenda, as well as selecting candidates that fit their policies to become a candidate.
