The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The correct order of the evolutionary history of humans is (C): Peking man, Heidelberg man, Neanderthal man, Cro-Magnon man. This represents a sequence from more ancient human ancestors (Peking and Heidelberg man) to more recent ones (Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon man). Homo sapiens (modern humans) are part of the Homo genus, and they would come after Cro-Magnon man in the timeline.

Evolution

Evolution is a process that occurs in changes in the genetic content of a population over time. Evolutionary change is generally classified into two: microevolution and macroevolution. The process of changes in allele frequencies in a population over time is a microevolutionary process. Three main mechanisms that cause allele frequency change are natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. On the other hand, macroevolution refers to change at or above the level of the species.
