Explanation:

The theory of uniformitarianism in geology (a subfield of Natural Science) states that the same geologic processes operating in the present have operated throughout Earth's history. The first option matches this definition. The second option refers to catastrophism, the third is incorrect as Earth has changed over time, and the fourth is about fossil evidence, not uniformitarianism.

Answer:

A. Geologic processes we see today were also at work in the past.
