Answer:

C. Laurentia

Step-by-step explanation:

North America is a continent that has much longer history than one would assume. It is often mentioned that all continents of today were part of Pangaea, the latest supercontinent that had all land masses in it, but it less known that some of the continents have their roots much further back in the geological past. North America, or rather its core. Laurentia has been part of numerous supercontinents or minor supercontinents, and it has moved a lot over the course of hundreds of millions of years, being in the Southern Hemisphere, around the Equator and Prime Meridian, than on the western half of the Northern Hemisphere.
