Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is Option C i.e. South Africa was closer to the poles and has drifted to its current location.

Explanation:

South Africa and South America were the part of same landmass which is believed to be placed much lower than where it is now. It was joined with Antarctica.

Fossils and land-forms evidence proves the theory of this continental drift. Even, if we look closely at the left border of South Africa and the right border of South America, we can determine that they were once same landmass, and later they detached from each other.
