Answer 1

The relationship that is illustrated by the iron triangle is best described by:

Members of Congress create bills that support an interest group in exchange for campaign funding.

In an iron triangle, the three entities involved are typically Congress (legislators), executive agencies (governmental organizations), and interest groups. Each party provides benefits to the others: legislators provide funding or favorable legislation in exchange for support from interest groups, while interest groups receive favorable legislation or regulation from the government.
