Answer
A
The pieces remained the same shape over time.
B
The pieces moved quickly to their current locations.

The pieces moved toward one another and created mountains.
D
The pieces broke apart and drifted away from one another over time.

Explanation

Wegener proposed that the continents were once joined in a giant landmass called Pangaea. Over a long period, it broke apart, and the pieces drifted away from one another toward their present locations. So the correct choice is “The pieces broke apart and drifted away from one another over time.”
