Which shows the correct order of events after the big bang occurred?

Answer
A
strong force separated from the unified force, inflationary expansion occurred, quarks and electrons formed, electromagnetic and weak forces separated from the unified force, gravity separated from the unified force
B
electromagnetic and weak forces separated from the unified force, gravity separated from the unified force, strong force separated from the unified force, inflationary expansion occurred, quarks and electrons formed
C
gravity separated from the unified force, strong force separated from the unified force, inflationary expansion occurred, electromagnetic and weak forces separated from the unified force, quarks and electrons formed
D
quarks and electrons formed, electromagnetic and weak forces separated from the unified force, inflationary expansion occurred, strong force separated from the unified force, gravity separated from the unified force

Explanation

Gravity separated from the unified force first. Next, the strong force separated, followed by the rapid inflationary expansion; as the universe cooled further, the electromagnetic and weak forces separated, and quarks and electrons formed. This sequence matches choice C.
