Hint: The Gospel of wealth tells that wealthy man to have the responsibility to use their wealth to improve society. Social Darwinism is the theory that human groups are subject to the same laws of natural selection as darwins perceived in plants and animals in nature. Pragmatism is a philosophical movement.

Complete step by step answer:
Let us discuss all the four ideas one by one:
I. The Gospel of Wealth: It basically referred to the idea that the rich had the responsibility to use their earned money for the good of others. Andrew Carnegie was the person who promoted the idea and gave money to good causes.
II. Social Darwinism: The theory that human groups are subject to the same laws of natural selection as Charles Darwin perceived in animals and plants in nature.
III.Pragmatism: Pragmatism is basically a philosophical movement that includes those who can claim that an ideology is true if it works satisfactorily, or that the meaning is found in the practical consequences of accepting it. Charles Sanders Pierce is credited for its development.
IV. The settlement house movement: This movement was an influential Progressive era response to the massive urban social problems of the day Jane Addams, is the person who had described the movement.
So, the correct answer is Option C.

Note: The message which was promoted by Andrew Carnegie in his essay The Gospel of Wealth was that the rich had an obligation to divide in ways that promote the welfare and happiness of the common man, he also said that “The man who dies thus the rich dies disgraced”. He says that the person who is very rich has a duty to use the money for a modest lifestyle and to use it for the welfare of society.
