Answer:

D. altruism.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define altruism as "the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others". Marilyn's Church Group is teaching kids to read for selfless reasons, since they don't expect anything back. What they are doing is clearly an example of altruism.
