The correct answer will be option- evolution of photosynthesis, first eukaryotic cells, first animals, Cambrian explosion, first land plants.

Explanation:

The origin and evolution of life started around 3.8 billion years ago. After this period life evolved and diversified adapting in the environment. The evolution of life is arranged on a geological time scale in chronological order on the basis of paleontological studies.

The studies have revealed that bacteria became photosynthetic utilizing the carbon dioxide and sunlight to make food around 2.15 billion years ago. After the evolution of photosynthetic bacteria, cells with well-defined organism came into being around 2 billion years ago which formed an endosymbiotic relationship and formed multicellular organisms. this multicellular organism formed the first simple animals around 900 million years ago in water. Around 543 million years ago the Cambrian explosion took place after which first land animals and plants appeared around 465 million years ago.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
