Continental drift is the large scale motion of continents across the Earth's surface driven by plate tectonics. The option that is INCORRECT is it happens so slowly that it does not affect living organisms. Continental drift is indeed a slow process but it has accompanying effects that may affect living organisms. An example is the extensive lava flows that form the present day Deccan Traps. This large eruption of lava flows marks the beginning of the the Permian Extinction.
