Solution

The correct option is A Homo habilis
  • Hominidae includes the great apes—that is, the orangutans (genus Pongo), gorillas (Gorilla), and chimpanzees and bonobos as well as human beings (Homo sapiens).
  • Other members of this family like Homo erectus and Homo habilis are extinct now. They were close relative of modern human beings.
  • So, the correct option is 'Homo sapiens'.
