Correct Answer: Herbert Spencer


Solution : The correct option is Herbert Spencer.

The expression "survival of the fittest" was coined by Herbert Spencer, a British philosopher, and scientist. Spencer used this phrase to explain his interpretation of Charles Darwin's thoughts on natural selection in his article "Principles of Biology", published in 1864. Spencer's "survival of the fittest" theory proposed that, in the battle for survival, those who are most adapted to their environment are more likely to live, and reproduce.
