How did Nazis wrongly explain the idea of survival of the fittest?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Strong races should dominate weaker ones
The phrase “survival of the fittest” came from a discussion of competition in nature, but the Nazis distorted it into a racial and political claim. They argued, without a valid scientific basis, that some races were naturally superior and had the right to rule or eliminate others. This misuse supported their ideas of hierarchy, conquest, and racial persecution.
Option B is correct because it expresses the Nazi interpretation that supposedly strong races should dominate weaker ones. The other choices describe equality, peace, or an absence of conflict, none of which matched Nazi racial ideology. The key point is that the Nazis converted a biological-sounding phrase into an excuse for racism and violent domination.
