A. a person who performs charitable acts for the betterment of humanity.
Explanation:
<em>I believe the underlined word is "</em><em><u>philanthropists."</u></em>
A "philanthropist" is a person who usually <em>donates money </em>for the common good or the society's welfare. Donation may also be in the form of <em>skills</em> or the person's<em> time</em> and<em> talent.</em>
For example, Bill Gates, the 2nd richest man in the world, donated a huge amount of money in order<em> to support the research of finding a vaccine for corona virus. </em>Another example is Warren Buffet, the 4th richest man in the world, who donated much of the <em>Berkshire Hathaway stocks</em> to charity. So this makes<em><u> choice A correct.</u></em>
