The correct option is D Pleistocene
Pleistocene epoch is also known more commonly as the Ice Age. It began about 2.6 million years ago and lasted until about 11,700 years ago. This was also when the Homo Erectus spread all over the globe. The end of this epoch started the Holocene which we are currently living in.
