Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C/B ratio describes the donor costs in comparison to the recipient benefits in a social interaction, such as altruistic behavior. It helps to understand whether the behavior is truly altruistic (when the donor incurs a high cost while the recipient gains a high benefit) or if there is some selfish motive involved (when the donor incurs low cost while the recipient gains a high benefit). Option A is the opposite of the correct answer as it describes the recipient costs to donor benefits ratio. Option C and D are not correct as they describe indirect and direct fitness costs and benefits which are not related to the C/B ratio.
