The Glomar Challenger collected evidence to support the Plate Tectonic model by studying the thickness and composition of oceanic sediments, the ages of fossils, and the ages of oceanic crust. However, option B is incorrect as it states that continental crust is typically several hundred million years old or older, which is not evidence collected by the Glomar Challenger in support of Plate Tectonics.
