Ralph Nader's "Nader's Raiders" primarily advocated for which of the following?

1. Environmental Protection

2. Consumer Protection

3. Labor Rights

4. Political Reform

The correct answer is: Consumer Protection

Ralph Nader's "Nader's Raiders" primarily focused on consumer protection, particularly in bringing awareness to issues such as product safety, corporate malfeasance, and regulatory oversight. Nader, through his group, conducted investigations and published reports highlighting how consumers were often at risk due to unsafe products and lack of accountability from businesses. This initiative played a significant role in shaping the consumer rights movement in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s, ultimately leading to increased advocacy for regulations that protect consumers. While environmental protection, labor rights, and political reform are also important areas of advocacy, "Nader's Raiders" specifically concentrated on the interests and safety of consumers, aiming to empower individuals against corporate interests and ensure that they were provided safe products and truthful information about those products. This distinct focus on consumer rights is what clearly positions their advocacy within the realm of consumer protection.
