Explanation
★Anomic groups articulate interests through spontaneous, often unorganised protests, so the answer is the first option.
★In Almond's typology anomic groups are sudden, spontaneous and short-lived.
★They erupt as riots, demonstrations or strikes without a permanent organisation.
★They publicise grievances to pressure policy-makers to change decisions.
★They lack the steady structure of associational interest groups.
