Solution

The correct option is B Cro-Magnon man and Neanderthal man
Cro-Magnon is a name that has been used to describe the first early modern humans (early Homo sapiens). The Neanderthals are an extinct species of human in the genus Homo, possibly a subspecies of Homo sapiens. They are closely related to modern humans, differing in DNA by only 0.3%. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
