    Option (C)

    Explanation:

    In the field of geology, a geologist James Hutton introduced the theory of Uniformitarianism. According to this theory, it means that the earth undergoes a variety of geological process that takes place over a long period of time and is responsible for the different types of changes that occurs on earth. All these processes that occur now must have occurred in the past too with the same intensity that has caused a tremendous effect on the earth. it is also believed that the same processes will also take place in the present, maintaining uniformity.

    Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
