Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several hypotheses as to why Earth's climate changed: an ice age and a meteor collision are two. Regardless of why the climate changed, dinosaurs could not adapt to a new environment to avoid extinction. Mammals did not become a dominant species on Earth until the extinction of dinosaurs
