The correct answer is: B) Trepanation.

Trepanation consisted on drilling a hole on a person's skull to relieve the pressure of blood after an injury and treat intercranial diseases. It is pressumed this surgery exists from the Neolithic Age and has been done first by Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and Indians.
