Solution

The correct option is C Marxism
Marxism was first put forward by Karl Marx and Freidrich Engels in The Communist Manifesto in 1848. They studied the industrial capitalist system and realised that it was progressive but exploitative. They were in favour of a workers revolution to establish a socialist order where the workers owned and operated the factories for the common good. It inspired many social movements in the future.
