If early twentieth-century geologists and geo- physicists had heeded [#permalink]
in question 9. I was confused between A and D.
You have mentioned there is no mention of height, but I found one.

"Because the height of any structure is limited by the strength of its supporting materials, the stability of mountains seemed to corroborate the geophysicists' conclusion: the Earth was simply too strong for the continents to move."

Based on this I picked D.

Could you or any other expert please chime in.

Thanks and Regards

The height restrictions are not covered in the passage. All we care about is taller the structure, stronger the base. D is incorrect.
