Read the scenario.The CEOs of several tech companies form a super PAC to support a presidential candidate. The CEOs contribute millions of dollars to their super PAC.

Answer
A
send it to their chosen candidate’s campaign manager
B
give equal contributions to all presidential candidates
C
create a series of political ads for their chosen candidate
D
hire people to vote for their chosen candidate

Explanation

A super PAC can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money on independent political advocacy, such as advertisements supporting a candidate. It cannot give that money directly to the candidate’s campaign or coordinate its spending with the campaign. So the CEOs can create political ads supporting their chosen candidate.
