Answer:

the sun and moon cycle takes up 24 hours, so that is why a whole day is considered 24 hours. there are 7 days in a week based on the earths rotation and position on its axis. there are 12 months in a year because of the lunar cycles, there are just a little bit over 12 in a year. we also have been following this stuff since the time of the ancient babylons and maybe even before.

Answer:

The correct answer out of the four given options is

option a. light elements with atomic numbers less than 5

Explanation:

Big Bang nucleosynthesis, abbreviated as BBN, also known as primordial nucleosynthesis took place after the Big Bang for about 10 s to 20 minutes and resulted in the yield of isotopes of helium-4 ( $^{4}He$ ), helium-3 ( $^{3}He$ ) which accounts for most of the world's helium, other isotopes of hydrogen in small amounts like deuterium (D or $^{2}H$ ) and lithium isotope, lithium-7( $^{7}Li$ ) in small amount.

Apart from these stable nuclei, it also yielded two radio-active isotopes: tritium( $^{3}H$ ) and beryllium-7( $^{7}Be$ ) which due to their unstability later decayed into ( $^{7}Li$ ) and ( $^{3}He$ ).
