C) Fossils of sea animals found on mountain tops. This is a classic evidence that indicates that earth crust has been lifted above its original level.

Explanation:

The presence of fossils and remains of marine animals on mountain tops, as is found by some scientist, proves that there has upthrusting of earth crust since ancient times. These marine animals died about 15 to 20 million years ago, the carcasses of which settle down as sediments in the sea floor. The lifting or upthrusting of earth crust had brought this remains of sea animals to the top of mountain. As for example, the fossils of sea animals in has been found in the Andes mountain by the scientists.
