Explanation:

Lobbying involves efforts to influence decisions, especially in a political context. Option a correctly captures the essence of lobbying as an attempt to sway others' votes. Option b misinterprets "lobby" as a physical location (like a hotel lobby) rather than the political action. Option c describes a meeting between officials, which is not lobbying. Since only option a is correct, option d (all the above) is incorrect.

Answer:

A. To try and influence others to vote for a certain person.
