This answer/definition is from my online study panthlet, that goes to CONNEXUS ACADEMY, not me! So thank them, that's my source.

"Wegener gathered evidence from land features, fossils, and climate to support his hypothesis of continental drift.

Land Features: Wegener used his hypothesis of continental drift to explain how mountain ranges on the continents of Africa and South America match up.

Fossils: Besides the puzzle-like fit of the continents, Wegener used fossils to support his theory of continental drift. For example, Wegener learned that the fossils of Glossopteris, a fern-like plant that lived 250 million years ago have been found in Africa, South America, Australia, India, and Antarctica. The presence of Glossopteris in so many areas supported Wegener’s idea that all of these regions once were connected.

Climate: Evidence of climate also supported Wegener’s hypothesis of continental drift. For example, fossils of warm-weather plants were found on the island of Spitsbergen in the Arctic Ocean. Wegener hypothesized that Spitsbergen drifted from tropical regions to the arctic. " - From connexus academy resources

To add on my previous source, you can infer that A isn't one of them, it wasn't stated up above. So A wouldn't be a supporting fact!
