"Similar fossils are found on continents that are separated by large distances of ocean."
Explanation: finding the same fossil species (especially freshwater or land organisms that could not cross oceans) on widely separated continents implies those continents were once joined and have since moved apart. The other choices either state irrelevant facts (number or types of fossils) or are too vague to directly support continental movement.
