Issac Henry · Answer 1

Option A

Explanation:

Human, chimpanzees and gorillas belong to the same class of biological family known as Hominidae. Hunan is more close to chimpanzees than gorillas. There is difference of only one chromosome between human (23) and gorilla & chimpanzees (24). There are huge morphological similarities among these three species such as the number of arm bone, leg bones and the skull in humans, chimpanzees and gorillas are similar in number and structure.

Hence, option A is correct
