Solution
The correct option is B Australopithecus
Australopithecus is considered as connecting link between ape and man. They were the ancestors of the man who first stood erect. Their cranial capacity was 300-500 cc. They have long, strong arms with curved fingers adapted for climbing trees. They also had small canine teeth like all other early humans. From the paleontological and archaeological evidence, the Australopithecus genus apparently evolved in eastern Africa around 4 million years ago before spreading throughout the continent and eventually becoming extinct somewhat after two million years ago.
So, the correct answer is option B.
