(4) A-III, B-I,C-IV,D-II
Answer: Option (4)
Explanation:
The Proterozoic Era is characterized by the earliest life forms, mainly lower invertebrates,
so B matches with I.
The Paleozoic Era is known as the age of fishes and amphibians,
so D matches with II.
The Mesozoic Era is called the age of reptiles, and birds also appeared during this era,
so A matches with III.
The Cenozoic Era is known as the age of mammals, so C matches with IV.
Thus, the correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II,
which corresponds to Option (4).
