Answer 1

B.moving magma in the mantle

Step-by-step explanation:

The continents have moved over millions of years. This is due to global convection in the earth's mantle. Since new material continuously comes out of the mantle below the oceanic crust. Thus, a force is created that pushes the areas occupied by the continents, displacing them.
