Read the passage from A Christmas Carol.

"A few of us are endeavouring to raise a fund to buy the Poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth. We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices. What shall I put you down for?"

"Nothing!" Scrooge replied.

"You wish to be anonymous?"

"I wish to be left alone," said Scrooge. . . .

"It's not my business," Scrooge returned. "It's enough for a man to understand his own business, and not to interfere with other people's. Mine occupies me constantly. Good afternoon, gentlemen!"

Based on Scrooge’s response to the gentlemen, what theme does this passage best express?

It is important to take care of one’s own financial responsibilities.
Helping a person anonymously is the best way to be less selfish.
A person concerned only about himself cannot be helpful to others.
Donating to those in need interferes with business plans and strategies.
