Answer 1

The correct answer is b. probably did not cross the oceans.The fossils of aquatic reptiles found in freshwater rocks on different continents suggested to Wegener that these reptiles probably did not cross the oceans. This supported his theory of continental drift, which proposed that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea and have since drifted apart. The presence of similar fossils on different continents indicated that those continents were once connected, allowing the reptiles to inhabit the same areas.
