Solution

The correct option is B Cretaceous
The Cretaceous is characterized as the period somewhere in the range of 145.5 and 66 million years back, the last time of the Mesozoic Era, following the Jurassic and closure with the annihilation of the dinosaurs (aside from flying creatures).
So, the correct option is 'Cretaceous'.
