答案：A
解析：
Choice A is the best answer. The first paragraph presents two different explanations for the formation of Earth's continents. The idea "long held" by scientists is that the formation "unfolded gradually" over "millions of years." The other idea, sparked by recent research, is that the formation occurred in a relatively "swift" period of "1,000 to 100,000 years."
