Answer: B. People compete for social stations based on their natural talents.
Explanation: Darwin's theory basically represents the theory of evolution in an animal and plant world where the most capable and intelligible individuals can survive and continue their own species. Thus came the concept of Social Darwinism, in which people, as well as animals and plants, are subject to the survival law and have to compete for their survival, where, of course, only the most capable can survive or are in a superior position. This notion was especially advocated at the time of the defense of the racism and imperialism, as opposed to social reforms.
