The result of the isolation of the Australian continent for millions of years was because the continent has no fossil record of species evolution.

The supercontinent Pangaea was believed to exist in early times and incorporated all the landmasses on Earth

  • The theory of continental drift explains that plate whichs forms the lithosphere of continent continue to move and has been in process for million of years ago

  • The theory of continental drift does applies to Australia continent as well because it is believed the continent moves away and isolates from the supercontinent Pangaea

Hence, the Option A is correct because the result of the isolation of the Australian continent for millions of years was because the continent has no fossil record of species evolution.
