Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Continental Drift was the theory theorized by Alfred Wegener in 1912. He hypothesized that the continents used to be a single landmass before being drifted apart. At first, the theory of Continental drift was neglected because of a lack of evidence but later other sociologists worked upon this theory and proposed the shifting of plates on the earth's crust.

<u>Wegener while studying this drifting observed several fossils and rocks that were correct. According to the findings of the theory of Continental Drift, the reason that tropical plant fossils were found on the Arctic Islands was because Arctic islands were close to the equator</u>.

So, the correct answer is option C.
