Brief Explanations

Since the dinosaur couldn't swim or fly, the presence of its fossils on the east - coast of South America and west - coast of Africa suggests that the continents were once joined, allowing the dinosaur to roam across what is now two separate landmasses. The other options are less likely as the same type of animal evolving independently on both continents is rare in this context, the dinosaur couldn't use ocean currents to migrate, and prehistoric man existed long after dinosaurs were extinct.

Answer:

The continents were once connected
