The two biggest reasons for the differences in the flora and fauna between India and Southeast Asia, despite being so close to each other are:

- Indian was a separate continent;

India was a separate landmass for millions of years, thus the evolution of the species on it went in isolation, creating new unique species, but also preserving some of the prehistoric ones. Even after the collision with the Eurasian plate, lot of those species managed to survive and prosper.

- There's a big natural barrier between the regions;

Between India and Southeast Asia there's very high mountain ranges. These mountain ranges have acted as a barrier for the movement of the species from one place to another, as not lot of species are able to cross high mountains in order to migrate to new territory.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D) India was a separate continent until forty-five million years ago.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Continental drift serves as one of the evidence of evolution. Different kinds of animals and plants live in different parts of the world. This is true now, and it was true in the past. </u></em>
  • Therefore, when a fossils of the same animal or plant is found on different continents, then that is evidence that those two continents may have been a single continent when those fossils were formed.
  • Fossils show that the continents drifted because similar fossils were found where the continents were together millions of years ago.
