Hint: It is a great work of the nineteenth century by a German philosopher and economist. It is split into 3 parts and includes 33 chapters. Das Capital is an attempt to give these ideas a grounding in veiled facts and scientific analysis. The Capital is also mentioned as ‘Kapital’.It is difficult to read, and a person with good knowledge of economics can understand it better.

Complete answer:
Das Kapital, (German: Capital) one of the major works of the nineteenth-century economist and philosopher Karl Marx (1818–83), in which he expounded his thesis of the magnate system, its dynamism, and its tendencies toward self-destruction. He described his purpose as to lay bare “the economic law of motion of modern society.” The first volume was published in Berlin in 1867; the second and third volumes, edited by his collaborator Friedrich Engels (1820–95), were published posthumously in 1885 and 1894, sequentially
In simple words, Marx argues that an economic system based on private profit is inherently unstable. Marx proposes that the motivating force of private enterprise is in the, whose unpaid work is the ultimate source of left overvalue. The holder of production is able to claim the right to this surplus value because he is legally protected by the ruling regime through belonging rights and the legally established distribution of parts which are by law distributed only to company owners and their board members.

So, the correct answer is Option (C).

Note: According to Das Kapital, the “capitalist class becomes unsuitable to rule, because it is inexpert to assure an existence to its slave within his thrall.” Consequently, the capitalist system collapses, and the working class inherits economic and political power.
