What is the primary goal of interest groups when they interact with policymakers?

An

Explanation:

Interest groups, also called special interest groups or pressure groups, any association of individuals or organizations, usually formally organized, that, on the basis of one or more shared concerns, attempts to influence public policy in their favour. All interest groups share a desire to affect government policy to benefit themselves or their causes.

Their primary goal is to have a policy that exclusively benefits group members or one segment of society (e.g., government subsidies for farmers) or a policy that advances a broader public purpose (e.g., improving air quality). They attempt to achieve their goals by lobbying—that is, by attempting to bring pressure to bear on policy makers to gain policy outcomes in their favour.
