B - Gorilla
C - Chimpanzee
D - Man

Answer 1

your answer --
option A) Ape

Answer 2

Dryopithecus is more similar to Ape. Dryopithecus are basically the ancestors of Ape and looks similar to that of ape.

Both of them have many similarities in body structures and also in skeletal structure.

The evolution of skeletal adaptations to orthograde postures, characteristic of extant hominoids, is of great interest as it provides the key to understanding the origins of apes and humans.

We report here the recent discovery of an extraordinary partial skeleton of Dryopithecus laietanus from Can Llobateres (Spain).
