Which prevented many geologists from accepting Wegener’s theory of continental drift?

hmmm i love those invisible options :D

The main problem with Wegener's hypothesis of Continental Drift was the lack of a mechanism. He did not have an explanation for how the continents moved. Some argue that this failing justified the early reactions to his work and to its dismissal.

Thus i'd say that the problem was that Wegener could not explain how similar geological features could be continued from one continent to another.
