The definition provided best fits the concept of a social movement organization (SMO), which is a formal organizational structure created to further the goals of a social movement or countermovement by implementing strategies to achieve those goals. SMOs differ from collective behaviour movements (A) in that they have a more formal structure and are focused on achieving specific goals, while collective behaviour movements are often more spontaneous and lack a clear objective. Claims making collectives (B) may be part of a social movement, but do not necessarily have a formal organizational structure. Moral enterprise (D) refers to a type of social movement that seeks to change public attitudes and perceptions rather than implementing specific policy goals.
