Solution

The correct option is B 900 c.c.
Java Man (Homo erectus erectus) is the popular name given to early human fossils discovered on the island of Java (Indonesia) in 1891 and 1892. Led by Eugne Dubois, the excavation team uncovered a tooth, a skullcap and a thighbone at Trinil on the banks of the Solo River in East Java. Java Man's cranial capacity was 900 cubic centimeters, about two thirds of modern humans.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
