Answer:

The correct answer is A) Plate Tectonic Theory

Explanation: Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. ... The lithosphere includes the crust and outer part of the mantle.
