Study the geologic time scale.

A geologice time scale. 4,600 M Y A to 544 M Y A, Precambrian Time. 544 M Y A to 250 M Y A, Paleozoic Era. 250 M Y A to 65 M Y A, Mesozoic Era. 65 M Y A to Today, Cenozoic Era.

The Eocene period exists in Earth’s history around 34 MYA.

What could a scientist do to determine what era the Eocene period belongs to on the geologic time scale?

learn what happened during Precambrian time
study information related to the Cenozoic era
view the timing of events in the Mesozoic era
research events that happened during the Paleozoic era

The correct answer is B. Study information related to the Cenozoic era

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of a geologic time scale is to organize chronologically events of Earth's History, by diving time into eras, periods, ages, etc. In the case of the Eocene period, this occurred 34 million years ago; therefore, this period belongs to the Cenozoic era that covers events that occurred 65 Million Years Ago to Today as it is shown in the geological time scale.

In this context, to determine the era the Eocene belongs to it is important to study information related to the Cenozoic era especially the period of time this covers because through this you cannot know the Eocene belongs to the Cenozoic.
