Sustainability bonds are a combination of the two, in that they are meant to simultaneously address both environmental and social objectives. Also there is no concept of favorite pricing related to corporate sustainability objective. There is no need to address social objective in the case study, hence answer should be C.

C Green bonds are bonds whose proceeds are earmarked for environmental projects. They combine several innovations: They are separately labeled, their proceeds are ring-fenced, and the (planned) use of their proceeds is reported both to prospective bondholders ex ante and to current bondholders once projects are implemented. In this way, they differ from typical corporate or government bonds, which function as general-purpose borrowings, where the issuer can then use the proceeds as needed.
