Which statement correctly uses a description of time?

An era is a long, distinct period in history, so the expansion of railroads could mark the start of a new era. A millennium is 1,000 years, not a period beginning with the invention of the automobile. The years 1980–1989 make a decade, while 1900–1999 make a century, so choices C and D use those time descriptions incorrectly.
