I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C/ One reason that a product does not always form is due to unfavorable geometry of the reactants involved. When the geometry is not good for substances to react then no reaction can occur although there is enough energy present.
The correct answers are options:
1. Amphibians evolved before land reptiles.
4. Elephants appear in the fossil record after dinosaurs became extinct.
The relative dating is a technique of dating with respect to any past event. In this case, two events are discussed to be occurred in a sequence related to one-another. In the option 1, the amphibians are said to be evolved before reptiles. So, the evolution of the amphibians is relatively dated with the evolution of reptiles. Same in the option 4, the evolution of the elephants is relatively dated with the extinction of the dinosaurs.
