Drifting in continents
Drifting in continents is not the correct answer for this question. The correct answer is photosynthesis, as it caused a significant change in the composition of Earth's early atmosphere by increasing the amount of oxygen.
The appearance of oxygen producing organisms
Yes, that is correct. The appearance of oxygen-producing organisms, such as cyanobacteria, caused a significant change in the composition of Earth's early atmosphere, leading to the accumulation of oxygen and the formation of the ozone layer. This process is known as photosynthesis.
