Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Point C

Explanation

The image is a map that shows Antarctica and the areas of the American continent, Africa, and Oceania that was attached to it during the time of Pangea. It also shows a white zone of influence of the glacial in the other continents and arrows that inform where they moved. According to the movement expressed by these arrows, the point that was probably closest to the South Pole (Antarctica) at the time of Pangea is point C because on the map it can be seen that it has already moved and is still attached to the South Pole. Furthermore, points A, B, and D. are much further from the south pole than the others.
