A

Explanation:

Candidates are within their rights to spend as much money on their campaign as they desire. The increase is due to the expansion of communication over the last century. Investing money into TV and internet ads are most efficient in getting someone's vote. The government itself provides limited funding to candidates. Most of their funding comes from private businesses and organizations.
