The puzzle-like fit of the continents, similarity of rock types across continents, and glacial evidence all were pieces of evidence supporting Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift. What was another piece of supporting evidence?
A) distribution of similar fossils across multiple continents
B) land bridges were discovered connecting Africa and South America
C) continents were found to have plowed through ocean basins to move into current positions
