Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wegener, is the right answer.

Continental drift is the hypothesis that the continents of the Earth's have passed across geologic conditions pertinent to each other, therefore resembling to have "drifted" beyond the sea bottom.

Alfred Wegener on January 6, 1912, bestowed his hypothesis to the German Geological Society. He hypothesized that the landmasses had once constituted a separate landmass, named as Pangaea, before splitting freely and drifting to their modern places.
