"Living things have adapted and changed over time for specific, discoverable reasons."
Explanation: Evolution is an ongoing scientific field — organisms change over time by natural processes (mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow), and those causes can be investigated. The other choices are incorrect: scientists still study evolution; all life shares common ancestry; and evidence for evolution comes from fossils, comparative anatomy, biogeography, embryology, experiments and observations as well as DNA.
