Solution
The correct option is A Africa
The dead remains of plant and animals get suppressed under the earth crust and get converted into fossils due to high pressure and temperatures. Australopithecus is an extinct genus of hominid. From the paleontological and archaeological evidence, it appears that the Australopithecus genus evolved in eastern Africa around 4 million years ago before spreading throughout the continent and eventually becoming extinct somewhat after 2 million years ago. Fossil sites of the early Australopithecus were found in south Africa.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
