The statement that best describes charitable giving is:

Goods donated to a charity benefit the charity when they are used by the charity or sold for cash by the charity.

This correctly reflects the idea that both cash contributions and in-kind donations (such as goods) can provide value to a charity, whether through direct use or by generating funds when sold.
