Suppose action A is an act of charity, giving 1 healthy, balanced meal to 1 starving, malnourished child. The meal itself consists of 200 total units of pleasure. Furthermore, after the eating is over, suppose that as a long-term effect (due to increased strength, restored hope, etc.), A produces an additional 500 units of pleasure over the life of the child, and an additional 20 units of pleasure for family members who see the child thrive. What is the total utility of action A, on Bentham's utilitarian theory?

Select one:
a. 720 units of pleasure.
b. 520 units of pleasure.
c. 700 units of pleasure.
d. It is incalculable because charity is a mean between two extremes.
e. Charity presents no contradictions, therefore the action has high utility.
