Answer: The sentence which contains a word that should be capitalized is C. (12) It was started in 2009 by actor Matt Damon and Gary White, the co-founder of Water partners.

Explanation: The rules of capitalization state that the first letter of a proper noun should be written as a capital letter. Moreover, not only names of people and places are proper nouns, but also names of specific documents, brands and organizations are considered to be part of this category. In that way, in sentence C., the initial letter in the word "partners" ("P") should be capitalized because this word is part of a proper name that makes reference to a specific organization: Water Partners.
