Answer:

tectonic plates

Explanation:

    The earth's crust - the outermost layer of planet Earth, formed by rocks - is subdivided into several “pieces”, which, despite being separate, are always in contact with each other. The set of these pieces is called tectonic plates.

    Tectonism - also known as the movement of plate tectonics - has transformations that can be directly perceived by people on the earth's surface, such as earthquakes, the movement of continents, the formation of volcanoes and also the appearance of mountains.

The other ones don't make sense, radiant energy is electromagnetic and gravitational energy. You can't tell how many planets are in its solar system from only this information. The number of galaxies is also impossible to tell. The only other one that could perhaps make sense is the distance to the center of its galaxy. But, this again is disproved as one star can't tell you the position of the center.
