Solution

The correct option is A Leopold Kober
The name, Geosyncline theory is given by Leopold Kober. Kober believed that Earth’s surface is continuously cooling and contracting. Because of this contraction, the landmasses start to move towards each other. This squeezes and folds the sediments, and forms a mountain.
