To determine the correct answer to this question, we need to understand the geological history of Earth during the early Paleozoic era.

During this time period, about 540 to 500 million years ago, the Earth's landmasses were arranged in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Pangaea included all the major continents that we recognize today, but they were joined together as a single giant landmass.

However, before Pangaea formed, there was another supercontinent called Gondwana. Gondwana consisted of present-day South America, Africa, Australia, Antarctica, India, and possibly China, along with some smaller landmasses.

So, the correct answer is Gondwana. It was during the early Paleozoic era that Gondwana existed as a vast southern continent.

Remember to always consider the geological history of Earth and the formation of supercontinents when answering questions related to different continents and time periods.
