Solution

The correct option is C Gondwana Land
The Gondwana Land included India, Australia, South Africa, South America and Antartica as one single land mass. The convectional currents split the crust into a number of pieces, thus leading to the drifting of the Indo-Australian plate after being separated from the Gondwana land, towards north.
