A. Altruism.

Explanation:

Altruism is simply the exhibition of a kind act or behavior by a person, that benefits another individual. The person who does the favor is usually not interested in his/her own well-being, but is genuinely concerned about others.

An altruistic person will usually not want to be repaid for his kind gestures.
