Solution

The correct option is B Anno domini
The full form of AD is Anno Domini. Anno Domini is Medieval Latin and means "in the year of the Lord". The purpose of the B.C./A.D. dating system was to make the birth of Jesus Christ the dividing point of world history. AD counts years from the start of this epoch, and BC denotes years before the start of the era.
