So 'for' also can be the answer? Even though not in the choices...

Thanks

Both sentences sound awkward to me.

I would prefer --

"We live in the time when technology is progressing rapidly" or

"We live in the era of rapid technological growth." --much better, concise and emphatic

[Edited:
My mistake -- it should be 'in a time' and 'in an era' instead of 'in the time' and 'in the era'.
Thank you Mr. M for the follow up and correction. It really helps me realise where exactly I go wrong.

What do natives think?
