Solution

The correct option is B Australopithecus
Australopithecus probably lived in East African grasslands about 2 million years ago. They hunted with stone weapons but essentially ate fruit. They were about 1.5 m high and their brain capacity was about 500 c.c. They had bipedal locomotion and erect posture.
So, the correct answer is 'Australopithecus'.
