A.
Different geologic processes must have occurred in different parts of California in the past.
B.
The same geologic processes must have occurred in all parts of California in the past.
C.
The location of natural resources in California cannot be predicted based on past geologic processes.

Based on the information provided, the conclusion that can be drawn from the unequal distribution of gold and mercury mines in California is:
A. Different geologic processes must have occurred in different parts of California in the past.
This option suggests that the varying locations of resource deposits indicate that distinct geologic processes contributed to the formation of these resources in specific areas.
