Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Lobbying generally involves attempting to persuade government officials to take a certain action or adopt a certain policy. Petitioning is a similar term often used to describe this process. Stalking and litigating do not accurately describe the activities involved in lobbying, and mobilizing could refer to a variety of activities beyond lobbying specifically.
