Supposedly is used to trick the test-takers I guess. Supposedly is close to presumably. Supposed is not correct here.
Secondly, it needs to compare age. X is 600 years as old as Y doesnot make sense.
B is correct

"Older" is what we want. So okay, between (B) and (D).
In this case, we want (B). The problem with (D) is the word "their"---who is "their"?
The Vikings didn't OWN the first North American colony so you cannot use "their"--you have to use "the" to say it without any implication of ownership.
