The statement 'present continents appear to fit together as pieces of a larger landmass' BEST supports the theory of continental drift (Option C).

  • According to the theory of continental drift, a super landmass which was known as Pangea slowly broke apart into different landmasses.

  • Subsequently, landmasses moved over geologic time relative to each other (i.e., drifted) along the oceans and formed the present continents.

  • The lines of evidence that support this theory include the similarity of coastlines for different continents; the distribution of fossils and paleoclimate indicators.

In conclusion, the statement 'present continents appear to fit together as pieces of a larger landmass' BEST supports the theory of continental drift (Option C).
