    The correct option is C) He could not explain the force that could move the earths plates.

    Explanation:

    Alfred Lothar Wegener, in his theory of continental drifts, proposed that the continents slowly drifted around the Earth. He also had some ideas about why there was a drift in a different continent. However, many of the scientist did nor accept his hypothesis and rejected it.

    One of the main criticism that Alfred's theory faced was the explanation of the forces that would have been required to move continents to such great distances.
