B
4.6 billion years ago

D
10 years ago
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Detailed measurements of the expansion rate of the universe place the Big Bang singularity at an estimated 13.787±0.020 billion years ago, which is considered the age of the universe. There remain aspects of the observed universe that are not yet adequately explained by the Big Bang models.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Big Bang was the moment 13.8 billion years ago when the universe began as a tiny, dense, fireball that exploded. Most astronomers use the Big Bang theory to explain how the universe began.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Big Bang: the birth of the universe Around 13.7 billion years ago, everything in the entire universe was condensed in an infinitesimally small singularity, a point of infinite denseness and heat. Suddenly, an explosive expansion began, ballooning our universe outwards faster than the speed of light.
