- DAustralopithecus
Correct answer
A. Homo erectus
Step-by-step solution
According to the evolutionary history of humans, Homo erectus existed about million years ago (mya).
The cranial capacity of Homo erectus was approximately cc.

Neanderthal man had a cranial capacity of cc and lived near East and Central Asia between to years back.
Homo habilis had a cranial capacity between and cc and existed about mya.
Australopithecus had a cranial capacity of about cc and lived in East African grasslands about mya.
Therefore, the given characteristics match Homo erectus.
