Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is D Common Era. CE is used to denote dates. CE stands for Common Era. Earlier we used to use the abbreviation AD which stands for Anno Domini which means in the year of the lord (after Jesus Christ was born).
Detailed explanation-2: -’CE’ means Common Era, or Current Era. ‘CE’ is equivalent to ‘AD’ as a date and places the ‘common’ or ‘current’ era as being from the suggested birth of Christ at 1 AD (e.g. Battle of Hastings was in 1066 CE). But, it removes the explicit claim of Anno Domini which means ‘year of our Lord’.
Detailed explanation-3: -BCE (Before Common Era) and BC (Before Christ) mean the same thing-previous to year 1 CE (Common Era).
