Answer :
" Option C - Anno Domini " is correct.
When referring to dates and years, BC stands for 'Before Christ'. AD stands for Anno Domini.
Explanation :
AD doesn't stand for "After Death". It's true meaning is in Latin phrase Anno Domini - in the year, the Lord Jesus was born.
We may think that Lord Jesus Christ was born on 0 (zero) year but that didn't happen. There is no 0 BC or 0 AD because as soon as 1 BC ended, 1 AD was started.
