An interest group that focuses on policy benefits for senior citizens would be an example of a(n)

a. philosophical interest group.
b. ideological group.
c. professional group.
d. business group.
e. single issue group.

Is it B? If no why

I suppose it could be D. But I think "single issue group" defines it better.

I don't think it's b. An ideological group would be a group that bases its activities on charity, religion, or a special philosophy.

The group that focuses on policy benefits for senior citizens has only one main goal. All of its activities are focused on improving insurance benefits for a specific age group.

No, an interest group that focuses on policy benefits for senior citizens would not be an example of an ideological group (option B).

To determine the correct answer, let's first understand the different types of interest groups:

a. Philosophical interest groups: These groups are based on a particular belief system or philosophy, such as environmentalism or feminism.
b. Ideological groups: These groups are based on a specific ideology or set of political beliefs, such as conservatism or liberalism.
c. Professional groups: These groups represent individuals who work in a particular profession, such as doctors, teachers, or lawyers.
d. Business groups: These groups represent the interests of specific businesses or industries.
e. Single-issue groups: These groups focus on a specific policy issue or concern, such as gun control or abortion.

Given the options provided, the best answer would be c. professional group. A group that specifically focuses on policy benefits for senior citizens would likely include professionals who work in fields relevant to senior citizens' needs, such as healthcare professionals or social workers. These professionals would advocate for policies that benefit senior citizens and represent their interests in the political arena.

Therefore, the correct answer is c. professional group.

According to my book, it would be D then. Is that correct?
