Match the hominids with their correct brain size:

Column I (a) Homo habilis (b) Homo neanderthalensis (c) Homo erectus (d) Homo sapiens

Column II (i) 900 cc (ii) 1350 cc (iii) 650-800 cc (iv) 1400 cc

A

(a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)

B

(a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(ii)

C

(a)-(iii), (b)-(ii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iv)

D

(a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the text:

  • Homo habilis: The cranial capacity was between 650-800cc .
  • Homo erectus: Fossils revealed a large brain around 900cc .
  • Neanderthal man: Had a brain size of 1400cc .
  • Homo sapiens: By elimination and standard biological data, corresponds to 1350cc (though the text does not explicitly state the specific number for modern humans, it lists the others).

Therefore, the correct matching is: (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii).
