Answer: Economic success comes to those who are the hardest working and most competent

Explanation: Social Darwinism theory referred to a theory taken from Darwin's theory of evolution, according to which only the most capable individuals survive and continue their own species. Thus, proponents of Social Darwinism argued that only the wealthiest, most valuable hardworking entrepreneurs should survive in the market, thus opposing social reforms.
