Hello Student,
Please find answer to your question below:

Correct answer is 2. Cro-magnon man
It has been known as cro-magnon man, because its fossils were first discovered in 1869 from cro-magnon rocks of france by Mac-Gregor. Cro-magnon man emerged about 34000 years ago in Holocene epoch. Thus, it is regarded as most recent ancestor of today’s man
