The wealthy are best suited to help the less fortunate.

Explanation: Carnegie’s Gospel of Wealth argued that the rich, by virtue of their success (a Social Darwinist idea of “fitness”), were best placed to decide how to use their fortunes for society’s benefit through responsible philanthropy. The other choices do not reflect the Social Darwinist element of his argument.
