What evidence, first published by Abraham Ortelius, supports Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift?
A. Similar animals live in different parts of the world.
B. Sensitive instruments measure plate movement.
C. Faraway places share similar fossils.
D. The coasts of South America and Africa fit together.

Abraham Ortelius put forward as evidence for the theory of continental drift the fact that the coasts of South America and Africa fit together.

Explanation:

A is not correct because the animals that live in the present would hardly prove anything when it comes to continental drift.

B is not correct because such instruments didn't exist during the time of Ortelius.

C is not correct because this was not a piece of evidence put out by Ortelius, but it was Wegener that did that.

D is correct because Ortelius based his theory around the shapes of the continents and that their edges seemed to fit, with the eastern coastline of South America and western coastline of Africa being the most noticeable example.
