Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Social Darwinism is a theory which applies evolutionary theories to countries, not accounting for the idea that countries don't well... reproduce. It implies that if a country, such as Britain, is able to take control of another, such as Antigua, that country must be superior. For an example of British imperialism in Antigua, you can read Jamaica Kincaid's account in her essay "On Seeing England" where she recounts her early education in a British Antigua. It generally states that the defeated country is helped by being absorbed by the decidedly superior one (a racist belief implying that imperialist white nations are superior to ethnic, native, and black nations and groups who were peaceful before being conquered).

Hope this helps.
