B Correct answer
Explanation

The Mesozoic Era (252-66 million years ago) is called the 'Age of Reptiles' because reptiles (especially dinosaurs) were the dominant vertebrates on land, in sea, and in air. Snakes evolved during this era but were not dominant. 'Dinasaurs' is misspelled (should be 'dinosaurs') and were a subset of reptiles. Birds evolved from reptiles late in the Mesozoic but were not dominant.
