The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks how the evolution of man was possible due to the characteristics of our ape-like ancestors. We need to identify which trait or behavior contributed most significantly to this evolution. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Bipedal movement on open land**: This refers to walking on two legs, which is a key characteristic that differentiates humans from other primates. - **Option B: Used fire**: While the use of fire was important for human evolution, it is not a trait that directly relates to the physical evolution from ape-like ancestors. - **Option C: Felt difficulty in nutrition**: This option does not directly relate to a specific evolutionary trait or behavior. - **Option D: Developed community hunting**: This is a social behavior that emerged later in human evolution but is not a direct trait of our ape-like ancestors. 3. **Identifying the Key Trait**: The most significant trait that allowed for the evolution of man from ape-like ancestors is bipedalism (walking on two legs). This adaptation allowed early humans to free their hands for other tasks, improved their ability to see over long distances, and made it easier to access food that was higher up. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option A: showed bipedal movement on open land**. This trait was crucial for the evolution of humans from their ape-like ancestors. ---
