Answer:
a) there was no evidence to support it
Explanation:
Wegener noticed while looking at the maps that some parts of the continents, especially South America and Africa, seem to match up perfectly. This led him to think that maybe the continents in the past were actually connected, but because of some force they moved apart. He went out public with his hypothesis, but it was largely rejected, and he was laughed at and ridiculed, as the scientists thought that there's no force that can move the continents. Wegener didn't stop there, and he continued to look for clues, and finally managed to find some clues at the topography of the Atlantic Ocean. He noticed that the mid-ocean ridge is the highest, but as you move away from it, the sea mounds are becoming flatter and lower, thus a sign of erosion, and he actually turned out to be right.

Explanation:
Answer:
B. Geocentric solar system
Explanation:
The scientific community is the one that accepts or dismisses theories. Some theories are accepted, and that is because there are enough evidence that support them, while some theories are dismissed as they have been proven over time that they are not correct.
One of the theories that is outdated and has been dismissed by the scientific community is the theory of the geocentric solar system. This theory has been in place and widely accepted for a very long time, pretty much two millenniums.
This theory was basically suggesting that the Earth is the center of the solar system. The Sun, Moon, all the other planets that were known, as well as the stars, were all orbiting around the Earth. This has been proven as wrong (except that the Moon is orbiting around Earth), and that the theory is far away from the truth, so naturally once there were enough evidence it was dismissed.
