Scientists had largely overlooked the Hesperian Epoch as it was thought that Mars was then a frozen wasteland. Excitingly, our study now shows that this middle period in Mars’ history was much more dynamic than we previously imagined.”Which of the following alternatives is WRONG, according to the passage?
- a) The passage alludes to three different intervals of time in Mars’ history.

- c) Scientists in general used to neglect Mars’ Hesperian Epoch
- d) Mars has not always been a frozen wasteland.
- e) The Hesperian Epoch dates to three billion years ago.
