Vedclass · Answer

(C) To determine the correct match, we analyze the geological time scale and evolutionary history:$1$. $i$. Cenozoic $(2-65 \ 	ext{mya})$: This era is known for the rise of mammals and modern life, not the origin of vertebrates.$2$. $ii$. Palaeozoic $(500-165 \ 	ext{mya})$: This era includes the Cambrian to Permian periods, characterized by the dominance of invertebrates and the origin of early vertebrates.$3$. $iii$. Mesozoic $(135-225 \ 	ext{mya})$: This is the 'Age of Reptiles'. During the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, reptiles were the dominant land animals.$4$. $iv$. Proterozoic $(350-500 \ 	ext{mya})$: This era precedes the Palaeozoic and is characterized by early life forms, not trilobites (which are Palaeozoic).Comparing the options, the match $iii$. Mesozoic $(135-225 \ 	ext{mya}$, Reptiles dominant) is the most accurate representation of geological history provided in the table.
