The correct answer is - Laurasia and Gondwanaland.

During the Mesozoic Era, the tectonic plates started to move away from each other, and this led to the slow partition of the super continent that was Pangaea. At first, Pangaea split in two parts, one on the north, and one on the south. The part on the north was Laurasia, while the part on the south was Gondwanaland.

Laurasia eventually split over time, and thus the Eurasian and North American continents were formed, while with the further splitting of Gondwanaland, Africa, South America, Antarctica, Australia, and India (until it merged with Eurasia much later in the geologic time scale) were created.
