What role does a watchdog play?

  1. Protecting political parties from scandals

  2. Lobbying for environmental protection

  3. Investigating political personalities and exposing scandals

  4. Monitoring international political events

The correct answer is: Investigating political personalities and exposing scandals

A watchdog is an organization or group that monitors and exposes any wrongdoing or unethical behavior in a particular field, such as politics. This includes investigating political personalities and exposing scandals, which is the role mentioned in option C. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the role of a watchdog. Option A refers to protecting political parties from scandals, which is not the role of a watchdog but rather the role of a public relations team or crisis management team. Option B refers to lobbying for environmental protection, which is the role of an environmental advocacy group, not a watchdog. Option D refers to monitoring international political events, which is the role of a news outlet or diplomatic organization, not a watchdog.
