A Correct answer
Explanation

The first sections of the Great Wall were built around 220 BC under Emperor Qin Shi Huang, which is indeed before Christ was born (BC = Before Christ). The Triassic era ended millions of years before humans existed, while the 1700s-1800s are far too recent - the wall was already ancient by then.
