Interest groups fund advocacy groups to favor a candidate.

Explanation: private actors commonly finance advocacy groups, independent-expenditure groups, think tanks, and campaigns (via PACs or Super PACs) to shape public opinion and policy. The other options are incorrect: PACs generally have contribution limits (only Super PACs can take unlimited donations but cannot coordinate with candidates), corporations cannot give directly to federal candidates, and businesses cannot lawfully donate funds to executive agencies.
