The order of responsibilities is as follows: economic (be profitable - keep the business going); legal (comply with the law); ethical (act in an ethical way); discretionary (be a good citizen - do things above and beyond eg for the local community, supporting small suppliers, overseas suppliers, etc).
Frankly, any organisation not being economic, legal and ethical needs to take a serious look at itself. Don't you think?

It's A) Discretionary responsibilities at the top!

I’m a bit confused because I thought legal responsibilities were important too, but I guess they might not be at the top of the pyramid.

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify the highest level of responsibilities, and I think it was about being a good corporate citizen, which sounds like it could be ethical responsibilities.

I remember discussing ethical responsibilities in class, and I feel like they might be at the top, but I could be mixing it up with another concept.

I think the highest level of the CSR pyramid is related to discretionary responsibilities, but I'm not entirely sure.
