Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Interest groups are allowed to spend unlimited amounts of money on issue advocacy during a campaign season as long as they do not coordinate with a candidate's campaign. This is because coordinating with a campaign would be seen as a form of political contribution, which is regulated and limited by campaign finance laws. By not coordinating, interest groups can still express their views and influence public opinion without being subject to limitations on political contributions.
