Brief Explanations

For question 3, the theory of continental drift was initially rejected because there was no known mechanism for continental movement and critics argued wind/currents could move fossils, so "both of those" applies. For question 4, ocean floor mapping revealed mid-ocean ridges and magnetic patterns, proving sea floor spreading.

Answer:
