○ africa and south america
○ eurasia and africa
○ australia and eurasia
○ north america and australia

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Mesosaurus fossil evidence is a key piece of support for the theory of continental drift. Mesosaurus was a freshwater reptile, so it couldn't have crossed large oceans. The fossils of Mesosaurus are found in similar regions of what were once adjacent parts of Pangaea, specifically in Africa and South America. This is used to show that these two continents were once connected.

Answer:

A. Africa and South America
