When Holmes and Colleagues (2002)found That Charitable Giving Was Highest

When Holmes and colleagues (2002) found that charitable giving was highest in response to the degree of need (high) and buying a candle (as opposed to giving a donation) what conclusion was drawn from this?

A) We prefer to give in ways that support a view of ourselves as true altruists.
B) The degree of need is not a concern as long as the charity reciprocates by giving us something in return.
C) We are often motivated to attribute altruism to social exchange so that we can be selective as to whom and when we help.
D) We react against pressure to give to highly needy causes and prefer to give to charities that have a more subtle approach.
E) Most people are altruistic.
