Answer 1

The correct response is: It was found on many continents.

Glossopteris is significant because its fossils have been discovered on continents that are now widely separated, such as Africa, South America, Antarctica, India, and Australia. This distribution supports the theory of continental drift, suggesting that these continents were once connected in a supercontinent called Gondwana during the Permian period.
