Correct answer
Explanation
The Devonian period (4) belongs to the Palaeozoic Era. The Triassic period (1) is the first period of the Mesozoic Era. The Archean (2) is a Precambrian eon. Both Oligocene (3) and Neocene (5) are Cenozoic epochs, but Neogene is the more recent grouping. Option B correctly pairs these.
