Solution

The correct option is A 5660 BC
We know that
BC = Before christ and
AD = Anno Domini

If we consider the birth of Christ as zero on the number line, then all the numbers with BC lie to the left and the numbers with AD lie to the right.

The years on the BC side(left side) are old and that of the AD(right side) are new or present years.

From the above figure, we can say that 5660 BC is the oldest among the given years.
