Incorrect usage of "playing" with an event that completed in the past.

A. Wrong,
How magnetic field is important in everyday life?
1. By shielding the planet from solar particles,
2. By providing the basis for navigation in everyday life.
3. By playing an important role in the origin of life millions of years ago. This can not be part of everyday life. It happened long ago.
