The correct statement is:
**D**: The theory of plate tectonics gives the method by which continents can move as part of plates.
Plate tectonics explains the mechanisms of how the Earth's lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them, leading to continental drift and the movement of continents over geological time.
**D**: The theory of plate tectonics gives the method by which continents can move as part of plates.
Plate tectonics explains the mechanisms of how the Earth's lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them, leading to continental drift and the movement of continents over geological time.
