Final answer:

The history of early Earth is sequenced chronologically from the formation of the planet, known as Nebular Earth, followed by events such as outgassing, bombardment, and others, leading up to the Industrial Revolution. Altogether, the sequence from 1 to 16 on the list reflects the progression of these events.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to put significant events in the history of early Earth in the correct order. The timeline begins with the formation of Earth, its early atmosphere and geologic activities, the arrival of life in the form of cyanobacteria, and proceeds through different geological periods characterized by significant events like the development of land plants and mass extinctions. To provide a comprehensive overview, we will sequence the events chronologically:

  1. Nebular Earth
  2. Outgassing
  3. Bombardment
  4. Oceans of Rain
  5. Cyanobacteria
  6. The Great Oxidation Event
  7. Snowball Earth
  8. First trees On Earth
  9. Land Plant Development
  10. Cambrian Explosion
  11. Ordovician Period
  12. Pangea
  13. Age of Reptiles
  14. Permian Extinction
  15. Yucatan Meteor Impact
  16. Industrial Revolution

Please note that this is a simplified timeline and actual dates and durations of these events vary. Additionally, this order is based on current understanding and new discoveries could potentially alter our understanding of Earth's history.

To mention the correct option answer in the final answer: The correct chronological order of the events for early Earth provided above is from steps 1 to 16 on this list.
