d. seafloor features
This can be seen through the creation of things like deep trenches and underwater volcanoes as plates shift.

Answer;

D) Seafloor features

Step-by-step explanation;

-The sea floor topography provides evidence for plate tectonics. According to the Plate tectonics theory the Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. These plates move in a number of different directions, and their movement is responsible for geological events such as mountain formation, volcanic activity, earthquakes, and continental drift.

-Evidences that support the plate tectonic theory includes; Coastlines on opposite continents appear to fit together like puzzle pieces, showing that they were once joined. Rock and fossils found in South America match those found in Africa, although there is an ocean in between.
