alfred wegener couldnt explain how the lithospheric plates moved to support his continental drift theory, but he did
present evidence for it, including

appalachian mountain range starts in north america and begins again along the european coastline.
mesosaurus fossils found on both africa and south america.
ancestors of families found on several different continents.
tropical plant fossils found on antarctica.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Appalachian Mountain range starts in North America and begins again along the European coastline: This is evidence of continental drift (matching mountain ranges across continents), so Wegener would present this.
• Mesosaurus fossils found on both Africa and South America: Mesosaurus was a freshwater reptile, so its fossils on separate continents supports drift, so Wegener would present this.
• Ancestors of families found on several different continents: This shows shared ancestry across continents, supporting drift, so Wegener would present this.
• Tropical plant fossils found on Antarctica: Antarctica's current climate is not tropical, so fossils of tropical plants there suggest it was once near the equator (continental drift), so Wegener would present this.

All options are evidence Wegener would present for continental drift.

Answer:

A. Appalachian Mountain range starts in North America and begins again along the European coastline
B. Mesosaurus fossils found on both Africa and South America
C. Ancestors of families found on several different continents
D. Tropical plant fossils found on Antarctica
