The social gospel was a theology of accommodation and adjustment to achievements in the fields of science, economics, and politics. It aims at transforming social institutions by the gospel, such as family, church, schools, government, etc., including that Christianity exists to reform society. Thus, the Christian conscience, thus challenged, has become a social consciousness.

So the correct answer is the second (B).
