Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: D) The focus for justifying CSR efforts through the ethical mandate approach is that the actions are ethically required for organizations and that they have an obligation to give back. Finances may play a part when deciding whether to proceed with an initiative, but it is a factor instead of the underlying belief.
