Julian Simon has

  • A.supported Club of Rome's Limits to Growth for estimating technological change.
  • B.assumed population growth causes technological progress.
  • C.used Second Law of Thermodynamics to assume that technological progress is costless.
  • D.assumed classical view of technological change.

Answer: B

Julian Simon argued that population growth causes technological progress, as more people means more minds to solve problems, and so he rejected the pessimism of the Limits to Growth study. He did not support the Club of Rome study, he did not use the second law of thermodynamics to say that progress is costless, and his view is not the classical one. So the second option is correct.
