What does the complexity indicate A.) evolution is based on the theroy of a creator, as explained in many religions. B.) evolution is spontaneous and discontinuous process. C.) evolution is slow, gradual, and continous process.

C is the correct answer. The fossil record of human ancestors shows that evolution is a slow, gradual process that happens continuously with no particular end goal. Random mutations occur that mean some organisms might have a better chance of survival and then these organisms pass on their genes.
