Solution

The correct option is B Cro-Magnon man
Homo sapiens is the parent species to which modern man belongs. It evolved from Homo erectus in Africa. Homo sapiens developed three subspecies- Neanderthal man, Cromagnon man and Modern man. The most primitive of these three, the Neanderthals, lived 30,000 to 100,000 years ago. This was followed by Cromagnon man, who lived around 20,000 to 50,000 years ago.
