B) Carnegie stated that the wealthy are the fittest and therefore have an obligation to the less fortunate.

Carnegie stated  in The Gospel of Wealth that the surplus was better put to use when well administrated by the wealthy, and that this had a moral obligation with those less fortunate than them.
