Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

The continental drift theory refers to the large scale motion of the continents over the vast ocean body and it was initially discovered by Mr. Alfred Wegener.

He contributed many evidences in support of this theory and determined that the age of the rocks and the types of rock that are found in the continental edges are the same.

It was possible for him to conclude this because he was sure that the present continents were all a part of the ancient large super-continent named Pangaea, which was broken down into Laurasia and Gondwanland and further broken down into different smaller plates over millions of years, due to the mechanism of convection current which was later modified by the theory of plate tectonics.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
