Solution

The correct option is A Only statement 1 is correct.
  • Evolution cannot be said to progress from lower forms to higher forms. Instead it can be related to the fact higher and more complex body forms have evolved even when the lower forms are still existing and flourishing.
  • It is not true to say that human beings have evolved from chimpanzees. Rather, both human beings and chimpanzees are believed to have evolved from a common ancestor. That common ancestor is likely to have been neither human or chimpanzee.
