Explanation:

In "The Most Dangerous Game," Zaroff's philosophy is centered around the idea that the strong have the right to dominate. He believes that life is for the strong and that the weak exist for the pleasure of the strong. This aligns with the concept that people (the strong) have a right to use their power.
For Part B, the quote "Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and if need be, taken by the strong. The weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure" directly supports the idea that Zaroff thinks the strong (himself) can use their power (play the game where he hunts humans) as he sees fit.

Answer:

Part A: C. He feels that people have a right to use whatever power they have.
Part B: B. "Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and if need be, taken by the strong. The weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure."
