Explanation
The Pleistocene (about 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago) is the epoch of the genus Homo (A–2). The Paleocene (66–56 mya) is the Age of Mammals, when mammals diversified after the dinosaur extinction (B–1). The Permian is paired with frogs among the given choices, since amphibians were prominent then and it is the only remaining sensible match (C–4). The Cambrian is famous for the Cambrian explosion of invertebrate life (D–3). This gives A–2, B–1, C–4, D–3.
