Answer:

B. Fossils of tropical plants are found in Antarctica.

Step-by-step explanation:

That option is the best evidence from the given because it shows that once tropical plants and the continent that today is Antarctica were once together. There is no other form that plants could travel there.

It could have happened during the Permian Epoch when all the landmasses on Earth were together forming a supercontinent known as Pangea.

I hope this answer helps you.
