The best theory that explains the present arrangement of continents, oceans, and landforms of Earth is B) Plate Tectonic Theory. This theory describes the movement of the Earth's lithospheric plates and how their interactions shape the Earth's surface over geological time, accounting for the current configuration of continents and ocean basins. While Alfred Wegener's ideas on continental drift (part of A) and the concept of Pangaea (part of C) contributed to our understanding of continental movements, it is the plate tectonic theory that provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the dynamic processes that shape the Earth's geology today.
