Reptiles flourished in _ period.
Correct answer: D. Both (a) & (b)
- A. Jurassic
- B. Mesozoic
- C. Metazoic
- D. Both (a) & (b)
Explanation
The correct answer is "Both (a) & (b)". Reptiles flourished during the Mesozoic era, known as the "Age of Reptiles", which includes the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. The Jurassic period is a part of this era and was a time of significant reptile diversity, notably for dinosaurs. Although the Jurassic period saw a peak in reptilian diversity, it is just one part of the Mesozoic era, which collectively represents the flourishing of reptiles. The option 'Metazoic' is incorrect as it is not a recognized geological term, making it a distractor.

About Concept of Evolution
Evolution is the heritable change in populations over generations, driven by mutation, recombination, natural selection, genetic drift and reproductive isolation. Questions examine variation, adaptation, survival and reproduction, speciation, fossil and anatomical evidence, and the difference between individual acclimatization and evolutionary change in a population.
