Prosocial behavior refers to actions intended to benefit others.

Social responsibility (A) is broader, often about societal duties. Social norm (B) is a shared rule, not an individual act. Volunteerism (C) implies planned, ongoing voluntary work, while Steve's act is immediate and situational.

D. prosocial behavior.
