Solution

The correct option is D Pangaea
Wegener postulated that a massive supercontinent called Pangaea, which is Greek for ‘whole land’, existed 220 million years ago. He suggested that Pangaea broke up into several large parts and these parts started drifting away from each other during the Mesozoic Era. He also hyphothesised that Pangaea broke up into two large landmasses called Laurasia or Angaraland and Gondwanaland.
