Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion. I provided the incorrect answer. The correct answer is B. plate tectonics because plate tectonics is the theory that explains the movement and interaction of the Earth's lithospheric plates, which fit together like the pieces of a puzzle. This theory suggests that the Earth's surface is composed of several rigid plates that move and interact with each other along plate boundaries.
