Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Pangea.

The name of the large supercontinent that existed about 200 million years ago, when all the continents were joined together, is Pangaea. Pangaea was a supercontinent that encompassed nearly all of Earth's landmasses. Over time, it began to break apart due to tectonic forces, leading to the formation of the modern continents and oceanic structures we see today. The breakup of Pangaea played a crucial role in shaping the Earth's current geographical and geological features.
