Solution

The correct option is C

slow, continuous


Darwin's theory of evolution describes evolution as a slow, gradual continuous process of change. This could mean that evolutionary changes could occur over thousands or hundreds of thousands of years. It is so gradual that one cannot detect these changes in a lifetime, or even over several generations.
