Fill (C)?

Options:

C)

Among

D)

Solution:

Here the two sets of periods mentioned 'hundreds and millions of year' so between is the correct preposition. 'Among' would have been correct if there were various periods. 'Into' is incorrect as it is used 'to express movement or action'. Thus the correct option is 2.
