What is the theory that Earth’s surface is composed of several rock plates that fit together like the pieces of a puzzle? (1 point)

The theory you are referring to is called Plate Tectonics. This theory explains that the Earth's outer shell (the lithosphere) is divided into several large and small plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them, and these plates interact at their boundaries, leading to various geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building.
