Answer:    A) Fossils of the same organisms found in different continents

Explanation:  Continental drift is a theory, according to which, for a long period of time, continents moved one against the other across the ocean bed. This theory has been developed by several scientists, supplemented, rewritten, etc, but in essence this theory is explained by the theory of the tectonic plate, that is, the continents move by floating on the plates of the Earth's lithosphere. Evidence for this are similar fossils, animal and plant, found on different continents, which means that they were formed once on the same, one continent, before the separation and floating of continents one in relation to the other.

The statement 'fossils of the same organisms found in different continents' provides evidence that supports the continental drift theory (Option A).

  • The continental drift theory proposed by Alfred Wegener (1915) posits that current continents were once part of a single landmass known as Pangea.

  • According to this theory, Pangea began to broke into two major landmasses (i.e., Laurasia and Gondwana) million years ago, which formed the current continents and drifted to their current locations.

  • There are different fossils belonging to the same taxonomic group that can be found on separate continents, thereby supporting the idea of continental drift.

In conclusion, the statement 'fossils of the same organisms found in different continents' provides evidence that supports the continental drift theory (Option A).
