Correct Answer: action


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

Explanation: The sentence context suggests that witnessing the generosity of others and feeling guilty may activate individuals to take similar actions. "Action" fits logically in the sentence structure as it implies that feeling guilty or inspired by others actions motivates individuals to take steps themselves, such as volunteering or donating money. The phrase "take similar action" indicates a response or behaviour prompted by the emotions described earlier in the passage.

Therefore, the correct answer is action.
