Answer 1

Answer: (C)

900 c.c.

Java man was characterized by a cranial capacity averaging 900 cubic cm smaller than those of later specimens of H. erectus, a skull flat in profile with little forehead, a crest along the top of the head for attachment of powerful jaw muscles, very thick skull bones, heavy brow ridges and a massive jaw with no chin.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
