C) Progress is the result of competition where the strong survived and the weak died out

Explanation:

Social Darwinism is a social theory that applies Charles Darwin's natural selection theory on human communities. It's based on the idea of survival of the strongest as a way of social evolution and the belief that the darwinist concept of natural selection can be used for human society insisting in ethnic and class competition for natural resources or diferent social positions.
