Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 2 of the same rocks on two continents, that shows that they were once merged. If there is glacial existence in places where glaciers would’ve melted (Like Africa has glacial existence from Antarctica ) this shows that continents were once merged. If life forms preserved as fossils were matched on 2 different continents this shows that all the continents were once merged.
