B. a meteorite collision
- Around 65 million years ago a big meteorite hit the Earth, right of the eastern coast of Mexico, near Yucatan, and it managed to release an enormous amount of force and also trigger much of the volcanoes that caused a global climate change in just a few days that exterminated the dinosaurs.

3. A big meteorite is believed to hit Earth 65 million years ago, on the eastern coast of Mexico, Yucatan.

The eruption altered the global climate and this also taken as one of the reasons behind the extinction of dinosaurs.
