Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Both are American pressure groups. The Anti-Saloon League, founded in Ohio in 1893, was the leading lobby for Prohibition and helped secure the Eighteenth Amendment (1919), and the National Council of Churches, formed in 1950, brings together Protestant and Orthodox churches in the United States and lobbies on social questions. Britain had temperance movements of its own, but neither of these organisations belongs to British, Indian or Swiss politics.
