Answer:

The Upper Class/ Wealthy people

Step-by-step explanation:

Social Darwinism was set of ideologies given by Herbert Spencer and other sociologists in 19th and 20th century. It was used to justify the racism, imperialism and political conservatism to discourage reforms. The theory says that peoples are subject subject to the Darwinian laws of natural selection just like plats and animals. The theory is discredited now. According to the theory upper class and wealthy aristocracy was the most valued class and the social status was a hereditary quality and that class division was a genetic factor.
