Which statement explains what similar fossils found on distant continents suggest about Earth's history?

Animals have evolved over time.

The continents have moved over time.

Earth's oceans had varying salt content through time.

There have been many animals on Earth that are now extinct.

Answer: Option B - The continents have moved over time.

Explanation:

The fossil found on distant continents suggest that these fossils existed in the common place, or same continents which lead to the conclusion that there existed one single and large continent. Example, crocodile fossils were found from Africa & south america, which clearly indicated that these reptiles lived together when Africa & South America were not in different places but together at a common place.

With time, same type of fossils of plants & animals have been found in many places all over the world which explains that all these distant continents were part of huge continent, which moved across years & from that different continents formed.

B. The continent's have moved over time.
