Answer 1

Operating activities

Step-by-step explanation:

Operating activity of a business is the function that a business performs that is directly related to provision of goods and services to customers. It is the core business activity.

For example a car production company has manufacturing as its core operating activity.

In this scenario Hollis, an individual, makes a cash contribution to a nongovernmental not-for-profit organisation and is considered as an investment in the cultural future of the city where Orchestra Y is located.

Since the contribution is for investment in the community and this is a core function of the NGO, it can be reported as cash flow from its operating activities
