   APhilanthropistBBenefactorCSponsorDDonor
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: A) Philanthropist

   Correct Answer: Option 1 — "Philanthropist"
   "Philanthropist" = a person who seeks to promote the welfare of others; someone who generously donates money, time, or resources to those in need, motivated by love of humanity and a desire to improve lives.
   Key clues in the sentence: 'generously supported those in need' + 'always finding JOY in offering help' + 'thoughtful gifts and financial assistance.'
