C. Geomorphologists (landscape shapes)

Explanation:

As Alfred Wegener's theory is related to the formation of supercontinent like the Pangaea and thus his ideas are more related or relevant to those of the geologists and geomorphologists as these study the landscape structure, process, and stage of development. Hence the landforms function of the three processes like the breakup and again breaking up the contents in the geologic history of the earth, which was evident by the known fossil records, climatic zones and the glial chains of mountains. The forces of the winds and the gravitational attraction of the moon and sun. Produced the drifting nature and the continents of South America and coasts of Africa are an example of this.
