Answer 1

It is E, A, and B I believe.

Answer 2

A. Meteor impacts.

B. Volcanic gases.

E. Milankovitch cycles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A and B are correlated because meteor impacts trigger volcanoes all around the world and their gases affected Earth climates. The ice age that followed the extinction of the dinosaurs was caused because of those two factors.
