Answer 2

Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

McDonald's supports and funds Ronald McDonald houses for the families of terminally-ill children to stay in to be near their loved ones. McDonald's action demonstrates the fulfillment of ______ responsibility.

a) Economic

b) Ethical

c) Legal

d) Society

e) Philanthropic

Answer:

The correct answer is e) philanthropic.

Explanation:

Philanthropic responsibility is easily confused with social responsibility since the two concepts often overlap. Social responsibility is a concern with making decisions that will affect society positively, minimizing the negative impacts the company may have. It deals with marketing and its effects on society.

Philanthropic responsibility focuses on directly helping a community - usually, the one in which the company is included. The most common form to do so is by making donations that will help the community as a whole or a certain cause. That is what McDonald's is doing when it builds homes for the families or terminally-ill children. It's using its resources to contribute with a cause.
