Question

Ashtyn Smith · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  This organization is an example of a social movement, as it is a group effort aimed at promoting change in societal or institutional practices, in this case, the university's policies on grants and bursaries. Unlike political parties or lobbies, social movements are broader and often grassroots efforts to enact social change, and they do not necessarily seek to gain political power or influence legislation directly as their primary goal.
