The correct answer is D) all of the above are reasons an official would pay attention to polls.

A public official would pay attention to what a poll says to determine the level of public support for his programs, to obtain information that will help him get re-elected to office, and to find out what the public thinks of a particular policy.

Public officials are exposed to public scrutiny and mass media scrutiny. Their work is open to critics or accolades. So that is why they are constantly monitoring mass media, TV News, Opinion shows, newspapers and of course, polls, to know what people think about their work and the way they can change public perception.
