Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Forming a multicandidate political action committee (PAC) would be the best choice for the pharmaceutical manufacturing firm as it allows them to solicit contributions from employees, their families, and other interested parties to financially support a candidate who aligns with their pro-industry policies without directly contributing to the campaign. It also provides the firm with legal defense against potential issues that may arise from political contributions. Directly contributing to the campaign (option A) or collecting funds for political contributions through dues (option C) could raise legal issues, and using hard money (option D) is not recommended as there are limitations on its use.
