The response that best explains how the presence of mid-ocean ridges gives evidence of continental drift is:
Seafloor spreading shows that tectonic plates move away from each other.
This explanation highlights the mechanism by which new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges as tectonic plates diverge, supporting the theory of continental drift.
