Answer
A
it did not change

in a clear and controlled manner

rapidly in major revisions to law

haphazardly, making changes as needed

Explanation

Probation in the United States developed gradually and without one coordinated plan. Practices and laws changed in response to local needs, rather than through a clear, controlled process or a series of rapid major legal revisions. Therefore, the best choice is “haphazardly, making changes as needed.”
