B. Primates that were hairy and walked like gorillas
C. Hominid with a brain size of 900 cc900\text{ cc}
D. Hominids that hunted with stone weapons but essentially ate fruit

Choose the correct sequence from the options given below:

Options

  1. AD - B - A - C
  2. BB - A - D - C
  3. CB - D - A - C
  4. DB - D - C - A

Correct answer

C. B - D - A - C

Step-by-step solution

According to the evolutionary history of humans:

B. Primates that were hairy and walked like gorillas and chimpanzees represent Dryopithecus and Ramapithecus, which existed about 1515 million years ago.

D. Hominids that hunted with stone weapons but essentially ate fruit represent Australopithecus, which lived about 22 million years ago in East African grasslands.

A. The first human-like being the hominid represents Homo habilis, which appeared after Australopithecus and had a brain capacity between 650−800 cc650-800\text{ cc}.

C. Hominid with a brain size of 900 cc900\text{ cc} represents Homo erectus, which appeared about 1.51.5 million years ago.

Therefore, the correct chronological sequence from past to recent is B →\rightarrow D →\rightarrow A →\rightarrow C.
