Solution
The correct option is B Africa
A Large number of human fossils have been discovered from Africa. This led to the "Out of Africa hypothesis" according to which modern humans evolved only in Africa and then travelled to Asia, Europe and other places to replace the indigenous populations. Most probably, Homo erectus was the first hominid to move out of Africa, colonise Asia, Europe and other parts of the earth.
