Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e The theory of plate tectonics proposes that the earth’s lithosphere is divided into seven major and some minor plates.
The statement "The theory of plate tectonics proposes that the earth’s lithosphere is divided into seven major and some minor plates" is correct. The theory of plate tectonics describes how the Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost rigid shell of the Earth, is divided into several large and smaller plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
These plates interact with each other at their boundaries, leading to various geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
