Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Supporters of industrial education for Indians were influenced by Social Darwinism, which held that certain races or societies were more fit or advanced than others. This belief system justified efforts to "civilize" or assimilate Indigenous peoples into Euro-American culture, often through industrial education, which aimed to teach vocational skills rather than promote equality or preserve Indigenous families and cultures.
