- BA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- CA-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
- DA-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
Correct answer
C. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
Step-by-step solution
According to the evolutionary record: Australopithecines lived in East African grasslands. Evidence shows they hunted with stone weapons but essentially ate fruit. Homo habilis was the first human-like being the hominid, with brain capacities between 650-800 cc. Homo erectus had a large brain around 900 cc. Neanderthal man had a brain size of 1400 cc, used hides to protect their body and buried their dead. Therefore, the correct matching is A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II. Answer: A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
