A) fossil record

B) sedimentary rocks

C) geologic time scale

D) radioactive elements

The answer is C. "Geologic time scale."

The other choices do not measure time periods or chronological events.

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Geologists have divided the history of the earth into time intervals using significant events of the history based on the strata of the rocks. They called it a geological time scale.

These time intervals are not regular but irregular which varies in length from million to billion of years. This time scale begins around 4.0 billion to 2.5 billion years ago in Archean Eon which continues till today.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
