Answer 1

Answer:

Option 1.Eukaryotic cells first seen

Option 5.  oxygen builds up in the atmosphere

Explanation :

• The name Proterozoic eon is derived from a Greek word which means earlier life.

• This eon represents the time just before complex life started proliferating on earth.

• One of the most important events that took place during this eon was build up of oxygen in the atmosphere.

The fossil evidence also shows the occurrence of advanced single-celled eukaryotes.

So the events that define the Proterozoic eon are eukaryotic cells first seen and oxygen build up in the atmosphere.

Proterozoic eon - oxygen builds up in atmosphere.
