Answer:

c. uniformitarianism

Explanation:

<em>Uniformitarianism is a doctrine that was popularized by Charles Lyell in his book published in 1830. It is a school of thought that belief that slow, uniform geologic processes shaped the earth in the past and the processes are still in operation as of today. In other word, the past processes that shaped the earth can still be studied in the present.</em>

The idea is in contrast to catatrophism, a belief that the present earth is shaped by sudden, short violent occurrence as compared to the past.

Descent with modification and inheritance of acquired character are related to evolution of living organisms.

The correct option is c.

Well, wind and solar energy are good places to look at. The highest wind speed recorded in Antartica was roughly 199 mph, so they would definitely gain a large amount of energy from the wind. A smaller turbine can handle severe weather conditions, so setting some up along the most wind ridden places would be good. Solar energy would also be the best option since their days are longer than their nights over there. There can be days at a time where the sun doesn't rise at all, and then there are some where there is sunlight for a full 24 hours. So, it really depends on your preference, and the cons and pros of the energy type.
For wind: Set up a series of turbines along the areas that have the most wind. Turbines can withstand large storms. There is usually some kind of wind blowing.
For solar: Set up some solar panels where they would be able to get the most amount of sunlight. There are 24 hour long days of sunlight, but there are also some days where there is no sunlight at all.

Hope this helps you a bit.
