- AFunds raised through unwilling contributions on web-based platforms.
- BFunds raised through large contributions on web-based platforms.
- CFunds raised through coerced contributions on web-based platforms.

Explanation
The passage explicitly says people 'would be willing to invest smaller amounts' — matching only the 'voluntary contributions' option; the passage contradicts 'unwilling'/'coerced' and specifies smaller (not large) amounts.
