Answer 2 is the best answer.
Explanation:
Darwin following the lead of Lyell believed that evolution occurred slowly through small uniform changes. Much like Lyell believed that small uniform changes (uniformtarism ) could explain the geological structures of the earth.
Answer 3 is true gradualism involves slow small changes. But the theory of evolutionary gradualism says that the changes are occurring.
Answer 1 is not correct. gradualism according to Lyell is constantly occurring even when the geological and climatic conditions are not stable. The present is the key to the past according to Lyell. Volcanos create sudden geological and climatic changes but they are part of the observed present.
