ANSWER

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Mariko and Hugh do not disagree on whether businesses can help society, nor on what the basic reason is for businesses existing, nor on whether or how consumers get what they want from businesses, but on whether quality-of-life enhancements due to products and services or businesses’ ability to behave in ways that benefit their community are more important to how businesses help society.
