Solution

The correct option is C Ramapithecus, Dryopithecus
Ramapithecus was more man-like in that they walked erect and their dental structure resembled that of man. They evolved much later than Dryopithecus in the geological time scale.

Dryopithecus was more ape-like in that it walked like the present day gorillas and chimpanzees. They ate softer plant parts like fruits and leaves.
