Answer: b. two hundred million years ago.

Continental drift is a scientific theory was developed by Alfred Wegener (1880-1930). He was a German meteorologist, who proposed the hypothesis that continents were the part of huge landmass or supercontinent about 200 million years ago. These continents got separated or splitted from their parent continent and drifted to other locations. He named the parent or supercontinent as "Pangaea" (which means "all lands" in Greek) which began to break up.
