Sir and what is the main difference between a charity organisation and an NGO

Q1: I'm not sure there is a universal order. I think the question writer would argue that society's expectations impose rules and regulations on behaviour (so A and D are similar, to some respect, though regulations might be invented that society doesn't much care about). Similarly you could argue that there isn't much difference between society and ethics as we tend to adopt the ethics of the society we live in. Ethics/societal expectations/regulations tend to govern areas of behaviour that the law hasn't go round to dealing with. Q2: A charity is an organisation set up to provide help and raise money for those in need. An NGO ia a non-profit organisation that operates independently of any government, typically one whose purpose is to address a social or political issue. Many NGOs are charities, but not all charities are NGOs.
