Solution
The correct option is C Plate tectonics and continental drift According to the theory of continental drift, the world was made up of a single continent through most of geologic time. According to the plate tectonics theory, Earth's surface is broken into a number of shifting plates. Hence, species that share a common ancestor may be found on different continents as a result of plate tectonics and continental drift.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Plate tectonics and continental drift.'
