Expert Solution
Step 1

Earth formation happened at 4.5 billion years ago, with hot gases and rocky substances settle down in the centre. But at that time still, the mass which is exploded during Big Bang was not settle down. So continuously this mass which is at the centre of the earth went through the collision with other masses. 
The hot core and series of collision, is the first step in formation of the earth. 

Option B is the right answer.
