Answer 1

C. At some point, the land masses were connected to each other.

Explanation:

The fossils now exists far away from each other because at some point, the land masses were once connected to each other. Now, the land masses have drifted apart due to plate tectonics.

Alfred Wegener a scientist in 1912 first formulated the theory of continental drift. The theory suggests that present day land masses have moved to their present positions.

• A more refined theory of plate tectonics is now in play today and it provides a better understanding to why we can find similar features across different continents.
• The similar fossils must have formed together when the land masses were once joined together.
• Noe that the land masses are separated, the fossils species are not separated.
