Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
The NLC qualifies as a civil society organisation because it operates independently of government control and advocates for the welfare and rights of Nigerian workers. Civil society organisations are distinguished by their autonomy from the state and their focus on representing specific public or group interests. The NLC does not field candidates in elections nor is it funded or supervised by government.
