Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Interest groups use litigation as a strategy of influence by filing amicus curiae briefs, financing lawsuits, and bringing suit directly on behalf of the group. By doing so, they can shape court decisions and influence public policy. Directly lobbying judges or making campaign contributions to members of Congress are not typically part of litigation strategies. Option C mentions institutional advertising and issue networks, which are not necessarily directly related to litigation. Option D mentions working with 527 committees, which are political action committees, and while they can be used to support court cases, they are not directly related to litigation strategies.
