The correct answer is B) Late Cretaceous.

During the Late Cretaceous geologic epoch, New York State rock record consisted of Weakley consolidated to unconsolidated sediments.

In Geological terms, we are referring to the third stage of the Mesozoic Era, which started approximately 145 million years ago and ended about 65 to 66 million years ago. It was J.B.J Omalious d'Halloy, who coined the term in 1822.
