Solution

The correct option is B Jurassic
The evolution of bird began in Jurassic period with the earliest bird derived from a clade of theropod dinosaurs named paraves. Mammals appeared on the earth long before the extinction of the dinosaurs; in fact, dinosaurs and mammals originated within 10 million years of each other, in the late Triassic about 200 million years ago.
So, the correct answer is "Jurassic".
