Forests and other green plants uses carbon dioxide in photosynthesis thus lowering its amount in the atmosphere. In assumption, we can claim that in the ice ages, the low level temperatures may have caused the carbon dioxide levels to neutralize over these phenomenons, also to note that there were less oxygen-breathing organisms and higher carbon-dioxide dependent performing photosynthesis.
The molecule which is the final electron acceptor for electrons from photosystem I is (d) NADP⁺.
Photosystem I is the protein complex involved in the process of photosynthesis. It captures the light energy to mediate the transfer of electrons from a series of electron transporters. It is involved in non-cyclic as well as cyclic photophosphorylation.
NADP⁺ is the Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate. It acts as a coenzyme. It is an important constituent in various anabolic reactions like Calvin cycle, lipid and nucleic acid syntheses, etc. The oxidized form of NADP⁺ is NADPH. It is present in organisms of almost all kinds.

Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Option A is wrong. Mammals were not the prominent species before the extinction of dinosaurs because the mammal species that lived during the dinosaurs' era were so small that they only weighed several grams and occupied small areas as their habitats.
Option C is wrong. As dinosaurs became extinct, reptiles and "birds" remained as their descendant which evolved to some of the species that we know today.
Option D is wrong. Pangea started to break up to form the geographic isolation for the diversion of many species around 175 million years ago.
So the correct answer is B. Massive extinction disrupts and changes the food chain in such a big way that it triggers a domino effect that leads to species adapting to their new environment and diversifying thus forming new species in the process.
I hope this answer helps.
