Explanation:

Herbert Spencer applied Social Darwinism, which posits that successful individuals/businesses are “naturally” selected (deserving of their wealth) as part of societal evolution. The other options (government intervention, mandatory charity, breaking up giants) go against his belief in minimal interference and “survival of the fittest” in economic/social spheres.

A. Successful businessmen are deserving of the wealth they gain (assuming this is the first option's text; adjust identifier if needed, e.g., if first option is labeled as A, then A. Successful businessmen are deserving of the wealth they gain)
