Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Australopithecus

Ardipithecus and Australopithecus species are often referred to as australopithecines. Australopithecus species were bipedal (walked on two feet), an important hominid feature. The Australopithecus gives rise to man-like apes. It had human-like teeth but it had more of an ape brain than a human brain.

So, the correct answer is option B.
