Answer:
The correct option is A) Africa and South America.
Explanation:
Mesosaurus
- Mesosaurus was an extinct reptile that lived during the early Permian period, around 299-270 million years ago.
- Fossils of this reptile have been discovered in both Africa and South America, which were once connected as part of the supercontinent called Pangaea.
- The presence of Mesosaurus fossils in similar regions of these two continents supports the theory of continental drift, which suggests that the Earth's continents were once connected and have since drifted apart.
- The fact that fossils of the same species are found on both continents indicates that they were once part of a larger landmass, which eventually split into separate continents due to plate tectonic movement.
