Answer 1

The correct answer is Paranthropus robustus.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c) Paranthropus robustus. Paranthropus is a genus of hominins that lived approximately 2.5 million years ago and went extinct more than one million years ago. They are not thought to be ancestral to modern humans and are part of an evolutionary branch on the hominin tree that left no descendants.
