“Do we ever engage in helping others for truly altruistic reasons, or are there  hidden benefits to ourselves that guide our altruistic behaviors?” (Paragraph 15)

Option D.

Explanation:

The article altruism: why we risk our own well-being to help others talks about being good to other people and help them where ever and how ever possible.

Be an altruistic might reap the people benefits which they might have not even expected which would be a result of their being kind and helpful to the other people. But according to the passage, there are few chances of true altruistic being existent.
