Birds and mammals underwent co-evolutionary divergence during the Cretaceous and Triassic periods. The Cretaceous period, spanning approximately 145  million years ago, saw the emergence of birds from theropod dinosaurs and the diversification of early mammals. The Triassic period, which occurred about 250 million years ago, they have witnessed the evolution and diversification of mammalian ancestors, while actual birds had not yet emerged. These periods played a crucial role in shaping the morphological and physiological adaptations of avian and mammalian species. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
