-
A.
Cambrian explosion
chosen
The Cambrian explosion was a relatively brief period around 541 million years ago when most major animal groups rapidly appeared in the fossil record, dramatically increasing the complexity and diversity of life on Earth.
-
B.
Ediacaran biota
The Ediacaran biota comprises some of the earliest known complex multicellular organisms, featuring soft-bodied, enigmatic life forms that lived in the oceans before the Cambrian explosion.
-
C.
Cambrian Period
The Cambrian Period was an early division of geologic time marked by a rapid diversification of life known as the "Cambrian explosion," during which most major animal groups first appeared in the fossil record.
-
D.
Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event
The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event was a profound evolutionary radiation during the Ordovician Period that saw a dramatic increase in marine biodiversity and the establishment of many major animal groups in Paleozoic oceans.
-
E.
Permian–Triassic mass extinction
The Permian–Triassic mass extinction was the most severe biodiversity crisis in Earth's history, wiping out the majority of marine and terrestrial species around 252 million years ago and marking the boundary between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
