The correct answer is letter B

Homo erectus is known as a crucial species in the evolution of the current human being (called Homo sapiens), which seems to have evolved on African soil some 1.8 million years ago, later migrating to Asia and then to Europe. It is believed that the species was extinct less than 0.5 million years ago and appears on the evolutionary line between Homo habilis and Homo sapiens, the exact moment and the mode of transformation from one species to another are still unknown. . Its name is a reference to the fact that at this stage, this ancestor of the human being was already able to move predominantly upright, just like a modern human being.

The main distinguishing features between Homo habilis and erectus include the increase in brain size, the presence of the forehead ridges, a shortened face and with a projected nasal opening.
