Solution

The correct option is B Reverse order
The calendar we use today is based on the Christian Era, now called the Common Era. It is an alternative to the Dionysian AD and BC system. BC or BCE is the period before the Common Era and AD or CE is the period after the common era. The years of Before Common Era (BCE) period are counted and written in reverse order.
