A student reads that the fossil of the glossopteris plant is found in the continents of Africa, South America, Australia, and Antarctica. The plants arose during the Permian period and became extinct during the Triassic period. What can be inferred from this finding?

A - Continental drift is responsible for regulating past climates, making it possible for many plant species to adapt to various environmental conditions.

B - Continental drift led to creating volcanoes with lava that generated fertile soil worldwide, enabling different continents to support similar vegetation.

C - Continental drift is the main factor for separating plates in the past and upon separation, the land pieces carried traces of similar plants.

D - Continental drift led to placing landmasses permanently at the equator, where warm temperatures produced a variety of plant life.
