failed
Answer

The answer is (A) Both MADD and anti-abortion proponents redirected their advocacy from the states to the federal government.

Explanation
Option (A): Both MADD and anti-abortion proponents redirected their advocacy from the states to the federal government

This statement is true. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) successfully lobbied the federal government to pass the National Minimum Drinking Age Act in 1984, which effectively raised the legal drinking age to 21 across all states by tying it to federal highway funding. Similarly, anti-abortion advocates have historically sought federal-level interventions, such as the overturning of Roe v. Wade, to influence abortion laws nationwide.

Option (B): MADD steered the drinking age issue from the federal government down to the states

This statement is incorrect. MADD's efforts were focused on moving the issue from the state level to the federal level, resulting in federal legislation that influenced state laws.

Option (C): None of the statements are correct

This statement is incorrect because option (A) is correct.

Option (D): Anti-Abortion advocates have steered the abortion issue from the states up to the federal government

While anti-abortion advocates have sought federal-level changes, the statement is misleading without the context of option (A), which accurately describes the broader strategy of both groups.
