Solution
The correct option is B Homo habilis
Homo habilis is the earliest known species in the human lineage. Cranial capacity of them is between 550-650cc. Anthropologists date that H. habilis originated between 2 and 1.9 million MYA, followed by Homo erectus, which dates to approximately 1.7 MYA. As a result, H. habilis was the first species that possessed the characteristic enlarged brain. This enlarged brain is also closely associated with the ability of using stones for tool-making. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
