A.) The continental crust was thicker and less dense. It rose above sea level, separating land from water.

B.) The continental crust was thicker and more dense. It sunk below sea level, separating land from water.

C.) The continental crust was thinner and less dense. It rose above sea level, separating land from water.

Answer: A.) The continental crust was thicker and less dense. It rose above sea level, separating land from water.

Explanation:

The Ocean crust is made out of rocks like basalt with a thickness of about four miles. The Continental crust on the other hand is made out of granite and other similar minerals and is between six and 47 miles in thickness which makes it thicker than the Oceanic crust.

With basalt being more dense than granite, the Oceanic crust sank and the Continental crust rose thereby separating land from water.
