The fern *Glossopteris* provides evidence for the movement of continents primarily because **C) it was found on many continents**. Fossilized remains of *Glossopteris* have been discovered in South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and India, suggesting that these continents were once connected in a supercontinent (known as Gondwana) and have since drifted apart. This widespread distribution of the same plant species supports the theory of continental drift.
