Question

Today, ________ is the common scale of chronology all over the world.

• A. Common era
• B. Vedic era
• C. Buddhist era
• D. Jain era

Answer 1

The correct option is A Common era

Common Era (CE) is one of the notation systems for the world's most widely used calendar era. BCE (Before the Common Era or Before the Current Era) is the era before CE. BCE and CE are alternatives to the Dionysian BC and AD system respectively. The Dionysian era distinguishes eras using AD (anno Domini, "[the] year of [the] Lord") and BC ("before Christ"). Both notations refer to the Gregorian calendar (and its predecessor, the Julian calendar). The year-numbering system used by the Gregorian calendar is used throughout the world today, and is an international standard for civil calendars. Hence, Option A is correct.
