<h3>What is Pangaea theory?</h3>

According to National Geographic, the Pangaea theory proposed that the tectonic plates that make up the planet's outer crust drifted over the inner layers until they merged as a landmass surrounded by a massive ocean called Panthalassa.

The existence of Pangea was first proposed by German meteorologist Alfred Wegener in 1912 as part of his theory of continental drift. Its identity is inferred from the Greek pangaia, which means "the entire Earth."

Thus, the correct option is B.
