Social benefits are those that accrue to the broader society rather than to individuals or single entities. Providing electric power to the market (II) benefits the community by improving access to energy, and reducing flood risk to individuals living along the river (III) enhances safety and potentially reduces costs related to flood damage. Employment for construction workers (I) and increased profits for McDonald's (IV) are more directly tied to individual or corporate economic gains rather than broader societal benefits.
