agape

Explanation:

According to the Greek style, there are four types of love:

1. Eros.

2. Storge.

3. Agape.

4. Philia.

Agape: The term agape is defined as universal love, including the love for nature, God, strangers, etc. Agape love doesn't depend on familiarity or filiation. By Christian thinkers, it is also referred to as charity and it is said that it consists of the social-psychological concept of altruism (unselfish concern towards other's welfare).

In the question above, Theresa is practising agape love.
