B) Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller
Explanation:
The term <em>social Darwinism</em> refers to a group of theories that began appearing in the 1870s in Western Europe, the United Kingdom, and North America. According to these theories, the concepts of survival of the fittest and natural selection didn't have to apply only to the world of biology, but sociology and politics as well. Social Darwinists, like Andrew Carnegie, the leader of expansion of American steel industry and one of the richest Americans to have ever lived, and John D. Rockefeller, also an industrialist, who is considered to be the richest person in modern history, believed that certain people could become powerful in society because they are inherently better than others.
He had a well-shaped head - not the "bullet" type of many pugilists - and dark hair which was turning gray. He carried this head at a proud angle which gave emphasis to his prominent jaw. His face was somewhat florid, so that even without knowing who he was, on would have said "Here is a man who has been a hard drinker." He had a fine mustache in the old tradition. Starting below his nostrils this mustache, a few shades grayer than his hair, extended in leisurely fashion over his lip and all the way across his face on both sides.

"Well, there's nothing to fighting, " he opened up, "Just come out fast from your corner, hit the other fellow as hard as you can and hit him first. That's all there is to fighting."
He laughed, then at once grew serious.
"What I should like to talk about is something else. Whiskey! There's the only fighter that ever really licked old John L. Jim Corbett, according to the record, knocked me out in New Orleans in 1892, but he only gave the finishing touches to what whiskey had already done to me. If I had met Jim Corbett before whiskey got me I'd have killed him. I stopped drinking long ago, but of course, too late. Too late for old John L., but not too late for millions of boys who are starting out to follow the same road
