B Correct answer
Explanation

Dolphins and humans are both mammals, but their last common ancestor lived much earlier than 60-65 million years ago. The mammalian evolutionary tree shows that primates (humans) and cetaceans (dolphins) diverged from early mammalian ancestors around 95-100 million years ago, long before the 60-65 million year timeframe specified in the question.
