Answer:

C. Gospel of Wealth

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "Gospel of Wealth" was adopted due to an article written by Andrew Carnegie in 1889. This proposed that one of the ways in which the country should deal with inequality is by encouraging the wealthy to use their money in a responsible and charitable way. This was one of the first endorsements of what we understand now as philanthropy. He also believed that the rich should not use their money for pointless pursuits, such as extravagance, self-indulgence and irresponsible spending.
