In 2018, Media Reports Had It That USTelecom, a Lobbying

In 2018, media reports had it that USTelecom, a lobbying group that represents major telecommunications conglomerates, had asked federal regulators to stop enforcing rules that allowed smaller Internet service providers to purchase access to their old copper-wire networks at what regulators deemed "reasonable" rates.The smaller companies, however, lobbied to keep the rules in place.How typical is such inter-industry lobbying competition in the United States?

A) Not at all typical, since the leaders of large "peak" associations that act as umbrellas for a range of industrial lobbies usual manage to iron out differences between them
B) Typical, since individuals and organizations involved in lobbying advocate for their own interests, often in conflict with others in the same industry
C) Somewhat typical, although the smaller interest groups can often be easily bought off by larger ones
D) Somewhat typical, although the government normally sides with larger groups, in no small part due to large-group membership cohesion
