Solution

The correct option is D Ancestor of both ape and humans
Dryopithecus was a tree-dwelling ape that originated in eastern Africa about 15 million years ago and then (like its hominid descendants millions of years later) radiated out into Europe and Asia. Dryopithecus was only remotely related to modern human.
So, the Correct Option is 'D'.
