Solution

The correct option is D Increasing brain capacity
The most significant trend in the evolution of modern man (Homo sapiens) from the ancestors is increasing brain capacity. The human species developed a much larger brain than that of other primates—typically 1,330 cm³ in modern humans, over twice the size of that of a chimpanzee or gorilla. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
