Option: C

Explanation:

Climate has changed in large scale through out the geolological history. Once all the continents were grouped together according to the continental drift theory. Thereafter with the effect of gravitational force and tidal force all continents divided and moved towards equator wards and west wards in definite directions.

the correct answer is c.
