(C) Socially responsible firms automatically engage in ethical practices.

Explanation:

Social responsibility is an ethical theory, in which individuals are accountable for fulfilling their civic duty; the actions of an individual must benefit the whole of society. Examples of social responsibility marketing strategies includes: recyclable packaging, promotions that spread awareness of societal issues and problems, and directing portions of profits toward charitable groups or efforts.
