Solution

The correct option is B Cro-magnon man
The Cro-magnon man is the earliest known modern man, Homo sapiens sapiens and they lived from about 45,000 to 10,000 years ago in the upper paleolithic period of the pleistocene epoch. Cro-magnons are associated with the Aurignacian culture, (occurred between 38,000 and 22,000 years ago) and hunted mainly with spears, (bow and arrows were later developed). Cro-magnon made tools from blades of flint stone, used for preparing animal skins. Significant innovations were pierced shells, tooth and bone pendants used for body ornamentation. Their art extended to venus figures, ritual statuettes of bone, and they made outline cave wall drawings of woolly rhinos, mammoths, cave lions and cave bears.
