Explanation:

• For the first question, the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices measure companies on environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. A company listed on it operates in an ecologically - responsible way. Option A is too extreme as it doesn't mean the most sustainable for investment. Option B is about investment profit comparison which is not the main focus. Option D is more about philanthropy rather than core sustainability operations.
• For the second question, a social contract implies that companies have obligations to stakeholders. Samsung's recall, paying refunds and limiting lawsuits shows fulfilling its obligation to customers (a key stakeholder group), which is the burden of the social contract. The other options are just parts of the problem - handling process.
• For the third question, diffused shareholders are individual or small - scale investors. NGOs are not shareholders in the traditional sense of diffused shareholders.
