Social Darwinists in the 19th and 20th centuries harnessed Herbert Spencer's survival theory, often misattributed to Charles Darwin, to justify societal hierarchies and imperialism. They believed in the concept of survival of the fittest, where competition for resources determined that stronger individuals or societies would prevail over the weaker ones. This notion was extrapolated to justify European powers' colonization of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, indicating that successful conquest showed the superiority of the conquering nation. Therefore, based on the provided information, the correct answer is that Social Darwinists believed that the best country would win any international competition (option b).
