Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Birds evolved from Therapsid reptiles but not in the Cretaceous period. They evolved during the Mesozoic Era, but specifically in the Jurassic period, not the Cretaceous.
Mammals evolved from Theropods, but this is incorrect.
Mammals evolved from synapsids, not directly from theropods. The correct period for mammals is the Triassic.
Thus, the incorrect combinations are III and IV.
Final Answer:
III, IV
