One risk to corporate social responsibility is that activities could be perceived as ______ versus benefiting society or the environment.

A) activism
B) cause-related
C) altruistic
D) promotionally motivated

When corporate social responsibility is viewed as a promotional tool or a way to boost a company's reputation rather than a genuine desire to benefit society or the environment, it runs the risk of being perceived as disingenuous or even manipulative. This can lead to skepticism and loss of trust from consumers and stakeholders.
