The evidence for the existence of Earth's magnetic field from the options provided is:
**Mid-ocean ridges having iron that is turned in different directions.**
This refers to the phenomenon of magnetic striping on the ocean floor, where iron minerals in volcanic rock align according to Earth's magnetic field as they cool. This alignment can show the history of reversals of the magnetic field, providing strong evidence for its existence.
