<span>B is the correct answer. The Time Traveller assumes that the upper and middle classes in his home society (Victorian England) became Eloi and the lower and working classes became Morlocks - he believes they have evolved into two separate species. As a result of this power difference, the Eloi are believed to be the masters and the Morlocks their servants.</span>
