Answer:

The correct option is;

Canyons

Step-by-step explanation:

The theory of continental drift, which was a 1596 hypothesis of Abraham Ortelius, is that the continents on Earth have had relative motion with one another over a period of geologic time such that the continents looks to haven drifting motion over the bed of the ocean

Evidence of the motion of the continents was first presented by Alfred Wegener in 1912 and continuing exploration of the ocean floor by Harry Hammond Hess has revealed that the there are lots of canyons, sea mountains such that the crust of the Earth moved apart on the facing sides of the ocean ridge which where evidence of sea floor spreading supporting the theory of continental drift.
