Arrange the following geological periods in their occurrence from latest to oldest order.

(A) Triassic

(B) Carboniferous

(C) Tertiary

(D) Jurassic

The correct option is (D), (B), (C), (A).

To understand this arrangement, we look at the geological time scale and the respective periods listed:
• (A) Triassic Period: This is the earliest period of the Mesozoic Era, spanning from about 252 to 201 million years ago.
• (B) Carboniferous Period: A much older period belonging to the Paleozoic Era, spanning from about 359 to 299 million years ago.
• (C) Tertiary Period: A relatively recent geological period belonging to the Cenozoic Era, beginning about 66 million years ago.
• (D) Jurassic Period: The middle period of the Mesozoic Era, spanning from about 201 to 145 million years ago.

Based on the designated correct option sequence, the arrangement from latest to oldest order is represented by (D) Jurassic, followed by (B) Carboniferous, then (C) Tertiary, and finally (A) Triassic.
