Which action is an example of petitioning the government?

  1. Lobbying officials

  2. Filing a lawsuit

  4. Running for office

The correct answer is: Lobbying officials

Petitioning the government refers to the act of making a formal request or making one's voice heard to the government for a specific cause or concern. Out of the given options, only lobbying officials involves making a request or argument to the government. Filing a lawsuit is a legal action taken against the government, while voting in an election and running for office are both ways of participating in the government but not necessarily petitioning it.
