A
21 years old
B
47.5 million years old
C
13.7 billion years old
D
7 trillion years old
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to this theory the Universe expanded from an extremely small, extremely hot, and extremely dense state. Since then it has expanded and become less dense and cooler. The Big Bang is the best model used by astronomers to explain the creation of matter, space and time 13.7 billion years ago.

Detailed explanation-2: -Our universe was born about 13.7 billion years ago in a massive expansion that blew space up like a gigantic balloon. That, in a nutshell, is the Big Bang theory, which virtually all cosmologists and theoretical physicists endorse. The evidence supporting the idea is extensive and convincing.

Detailed explanation-3: -The scientists studied an image of the oldest light in the universe to confirm its age of 13.8 billion years. This light, the “afterglow” of the Big Bang, is known as the cosmic microwave background and marks a time 380, 000 years after the universe’s birth when protons and electrons joined to form the first atoms.
