<span>When Alfred Wegener developed the theory of continental drift in 1912, not many thought those theories of movement of continents are valid and the scientific community did not accept his theory at that time and that did not allow him to research further on ocean floor, paleo-magnetism, and earthquakes.</span>

It was not accepted during Wegener's lifetime because, mainstream scientists that time didn't know the mantle was liquid, they thought it was solid.  They thought the throry was illegitimate because continents did not fit exactly together.

The evidence supporting Wegener's theory was all discovered after his lifetime, like the Seismographs revealed a pattern of volcanoes and earthquakes, and Radiometric dating of rocks revealed a surprisingly young oceanic crust.

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

D. Selection has led to decreases in the size of fish at the age of reproductive maturity.

Explanation:

The larger body size of the fishes is not an adaptive trait as it reduces the survival chances of these fishes. The process of natural selection tends to increase the frequency of the traits that increase the survival fitness of the organisms. Here, the fishes with smaller body size at the reproductive age have greater chances of survival and would reproduce more to leave more progeny. Over the generations, the selection pressure would increase the proportion of fishes that are smaller during reproductive age.
