Solution

The correct option is C Remarkable increase in brain size

The most primitive man was Ramapithecus with cranial capacity of 400 cc.

During the evolution of man, cranial capacity has increased with the highest cranial capacity of modern man being 1450 cc.

Thus the most apparent change during the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens is traced to a remarkable increase in brain size.
