Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The overall composition of Moon rocks returned from the Apollo program being similar to the composition of Earth's mantle material, except for the absence of volatile elements, provides strong evidence for the giant impact model. This is because the model suggests that the Moon was formed from material that was ejected from the Earth's mantle due to a collision with a Mars-sized object, leading to a similarity in composition between the two bodies excluding volatile elements. The other options do not provide a direct link to the giant impact model.
