option a is the correct answer

Answer 2

Kalakriti Limited is following a Discretionary responsibility

• Discretionary obligation is voluntary and motivated by the apparent willingness of an enterprise to efficiently perform social sacrifices that are not required by participatory economics, fundamental law or practical ethics.  
• Discretionary activities include the philanthropic donations that do not provide the responsible enterprise with immediate financial paybacks and where the returns are not expected.
• It is typically a personal decision of the Kalakriti Limited to voluntarily contribute towards the Swatch Bharat Abhiyan and enthusiastically support the society in general. Thus, it is a discretionary responsibility.
