Solution

The two statements that serve as evidence for the theory of plate tectonics are:

(Choice A) North America and Europe have complementary coastlines. This is evidence of the continental drift aspect of plate tectonics, which suggests that continents have moved over time and were once part of a supercontinent.

(Choice B) Similar fossils have been found in both India and Africa. This supports the theory of plate tectonics because it suggests that these areas were once connected, allowing the same species to live in both places.
