Solution

The correct option is D Java ape man
Homo erectus erectus is the zoological name of Java man. It is the early human fossils discovered on the island of Java (Indonesia) in 1891 and 1892. It was discovered by Dutch scientist Eugene Dubois. The skull was characterized by thick bones and a retreating forehead and no chin, as well as protruding brow ridges and a massive jaw. With 900 cm, his cranial capacity was smaller than that of later H. erectus specimens.
So, the correct answer is option A.
