  5. Start a petition
Explanation
Answer: B - If an ordinary citizen wants something on the political agenda, then the fastest and easiest way to do it is to get the media involved. Especially with local media, if you create a story by holding a rally, your issue will get attention. But it is very important that you not offend people while getting their attention, or you may put your issue on the agenda with the politicians being against you.
