What is public policy?

  1. A public voting system

  2. A law passed by the legislative body

  3. A government's course of action to address political issues

  4. A public opinion poll

The correct answer is: A government's course of action to address political issues

Public policy refers to a government's course of action to address political issues. Option A is incorrect as public policy is not a voting system, but rather a plan or strategy. Option B is also incorrect as a law is only one part of a government's policy and does not include the full scope of actions taken. Option D is incorrect as a public opinion poll is a survey of citizens' opinions, but does not determine or dictate a government's course of action.
