The correct answer is option C, that is, epoch.  

An epoch refers to a time unit. An epoch in geological time scale refers to a subdivision, which is lengthier than an age but briefer in comparison to a period. The present epoch is the Holocene epoch of the Quaternary period.  

The two or more periods form a geological era, two or more eras form an eon and is the largest division of the geologic time.
