Hint: Cro-Magnon man was an early Homo sapiens that lived about 40,000 years ago. The cranial capacity of Cro-magnon man. The cranial capacity of Cro-magnon was about 1,600 cc, which is larger than the average for modern humans.

Complete answer:
In this question, we have asked about the cranial capacity of Cro-magnon man. Cro-Magnon was an early Homo sapiens that lived about 40,000 years ago. They are extinct now. Cro magnon were carnivorous and not herbivorous, frugivorous and sanguivorous. The Cro-Magnons were primarily hunters, killing mammoths, cave bears, and horses. Their forehead was straight with slight brow ridges. The face was short and wide. They had a prominent chin, they were fair and tall compared to homo sapien. The cranial capacity (measurement of the volume of the interior skull of vertebrates who have a brain) of Cro-magnon man was larger than Homo sapiens. Cranial capacity of homo sapien is 1500cc. We have four options, among them only one is more than 1500cc.

So, the correct option is D. 1600cc.

Note:
Cro-Magnons painted walls. They may have painted animals as a ritual to ensure successful hunting and animal fertility and Cro-Magnons communicated through language.
