Answer 1

The correct option is B Homo erectus

Homo erectus, also known as ape man or erect man, had a low forehead and massive brow ridges, and large, thick jaws without a prominent chin. They had a cranial capacity of 1100cc. Small canines and molars started appearing in Homo erectus, which were similar to those of modern man's. They had elaborate tools of stones and bones, and they mostly hunted animals.
