Solution

The correct option is C Australopithecus
The australopithecines occurred in the Pleistocene era and were bipedal, and they were dentally similar to humans, but with a brain size not much larger than that of modern apes. They started colonizing and lived together as families which helped these early animals to protect themselves. Hence option C is correct.
