Which statement best describes Social Darwinism? People are not like animals but are more cunning and sophisticated. People compete for social stations based on their natural talents. Animals compete for survival and the fittest live on. Animals and humans are more closely tied than we like to think.

Social Darwinism was modeled on Charles Darwin natural selection and it assumes a similar mechanism (=survival of the fittest) in the competition for political and social power. The best answer is then:

People compete for social stations (I think you meant "status here?" correct me if I'm wrong!) based on their natural talents.
