C

Concerned -> reason christians are donating is because they are concerned about abortion etc.
Concerning would mean, donations for that purpose.

"Concerned about" is correct idiom.
https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/concern

Now we have A and C

"concerning about social issues" acts as modifier and it refers to conservative Christians. -> Incorrect.

Who concerned about social issues? -> Republicans => seems to OK



IMO: C
