Question

How did George Cuvier accounts for the extinctions in nature

Extinctions never occur there are unexplored parts of the globe where the organisms that appears to have gone extinct may still live
Extinctions occur when the slow adaptations of the organisms overtime to their environment are not quick enough to help them respond to changing conditions
Extinctions occur at random, they do not reflect God’s will
Extinctions occur due to the catastrophic events

The correct answer is: Extinctions occur due to the catastrophic events

Theory of catastrophism was given by Georges Cuvier (1769-1832). He is the father of modern Palaeontology. According to this theory, cataclysms or catastrophic evolution occurs upon earth from time to time which completely destroys all the organisms. New organisms then suddenly arises from the inorganic matter
