Solution

The correct option is B Pleistocene
The Pleistocene Epoch is typically defined as the time period that began about 1.8 million years ago and lasted until about 11,700 years ago. The Pleistocene Epoch is the first in which Homo sapiens evolved and by the end of the epoch humans could be found in nearly every part of the planet. The Pleistocene Epoch was the first epoch in the Quaternary Period and the sixth in the Cenozoic Era. It was followed by the current stage, called as the Holocene Epoch.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
