Answer:
D. because water and mud behaved in a similar way in the past as they do today
Explanation:
One of the fundamental theories in the field of earth science is the theory of uniformitarianism.
Uniformitarianism was proposed by James Hutton in the 18th century in Scotland. The theory states that "geologic processes occurring today have occurred in times past and that the present is the key to past".
The simple meaning of the theory is that, the processes on earth today such as weathering, erosion, e.t.c have also occurred in times past. Those processes still occur today and an understanding of such events today will help us have a better insight into the past.
Therefore, ripple marks just as they form today from action of mud and water would be formed in a similar way in the past.

Molten barium chloride is separeted
into two species :
BaCl₂(l) → Ba(l) + Cl₂(g),
but first ionic bonds in this salt are separeted because of heat:
BaCl₂(l) → Ba²⁺(l) + 2Cl⁻(l).
Reaction of reduction at cathode(-): Ba²⁺(l) + 2e⁻ → Ba(l).
Reaction of oxidation at anode(+): 2Cl⁻(l) → Cl₂(g) + 2e⁻.
<span>The anode is positive and the cathode is negative.</span>

Explanation:
Metallic bonds involve attraction between electrons and positively charged metal ions. The metals are ionized and electrons form a sea of valence electrons. These loosely bound electrons surround the nuclei of the metals.
The presence of this sea of electrons explains the fact that metals conduct electricity and heat due to the free valence electrons.
Due to the nature of the bonding between metal atoms,metals are malleable and ductile.
Due to the strong electrostatic interaction between metal ions and electrons, the metallic bond is very strong and is very difficult to break thereby accounting for the greater strength of metals as the size of the metallic ion decreases.
