Which statement best expresses the western perspective regarding Rudyard Kipling's "white man's burden"

The "White Man's Burden" was an idea revolving around the concept that it was the moral and social responsibility of European citizens to spread their values, religion, and system of government to countries and territories they deemed as "inferior."

The goal in taking up this "burden" was to civilize nations of citizens who did not have these systems already in place.

In this case, from the western perspective, the answer would relate to seeing this idea as a positive element of society. Since there are no option choices in the question this is my best educated guess.
