Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a person without any selfish motive does something for the benefit of others then it is known as altruism.

For example, a person organizes a food stall every weekend for the poor people of a village.

Therefore, we can conclude that an action that benefits others but not ourselves is an example of altruism.
