Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: Philanthropist
Philanthropist (noun): a person who seeks to promote the welfare of others, especially by donating money, time, or resources to help people in need.
Example: A philanthropist donated funds to build a community medical clinic.
Why the other choices are incorrect:
Misanthropist — someone who dislikes or distrusts people (the opposite of loving humankind).
Miser — a person who hoards wealth and is unwilling to spend it (relates to stinginess, not benevolence).
Stingy — an adjective meaning ungenerous; it does not denote someone who loves or helps people.
Therefore, the best single-word substitution for "one who loves humankind" is philanthropist.
