Explanation:

1. Coalition - building involves multiple entities uniting for a common goal. A single advocacy group lobbying Congress is just one - group action. A grassroots campaign in a small town is local and not about multiple organizations uniting. Multiple organizations uniting for a common cause is the essence of coalition - building. A strategic lawsuit in federal court is a legal action, not coalition - building.
2. Advocacy groups often face political opposition as they try to influence policies. They do not have guaranteed public support, access to unlimited funding, and are subject to external pressure.
3. Lobbying involves direct interaction with government officials to influence decisions. Grassroots organizing focuses on mobilizing the general public at a local level. Digital campaigning uses online platforms for promotion. Coalition - building is about forming alliances among groups.

Answer:

1. c. Multiple organizations uniting for a common cause
2. a. Political opposition
3. d. Lobbying
