Option A: Postcranial changes in hominins that indicate bipedal locomotion include shortening and broadening of the ilium of the pelvic girdle.
Around 3 million years ago, bipedal locomotion in early hominins turned to be more effective. This adaption made the hominins more stable to hold their weight and walk upright. It also helped them to see longer distances in the green forests areas. They could take the advantage of hunting their food or protecting them from harmful predators. Adapting bipedal location expended lesser energy, thus allowing hominins to walk longer distances.
Over many generations now, bipedal location turned out to develop stronger and longer legs and feet so as to allow running and holding more weights. Additionally, the arms turned to be more adapted to hold the heavier things efficiently and to carry their newborns effectively.
Owing all these changes, adaption made to this kind of locomotion include shortening and broadening of the ilium of the pelvic girdle and developed a bowl-shape structure.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Answer:
Light, Temperature, Humidity, Wind, and Soil water
Explanation:
Plants transpire more rapidly in the light than in the dark. This is largely because light stimulates the opening of the stomata (mechanism). Light also speeds up transpiration by warming the leaf.
Plants transpire more rapidly at higher temperatures because water evaporates more rapidly as the temperature rises. At 30°C, a leaf may transpire three times as fast as it does at 20°C.
The rate of diffusion of any substance increases as the difference in concentration of the substances in the two regions increases.When the surrounding air is dry, diffusion of water out of the leaf goes on more rapidly.
When there is no breeze, the air surrounding a leaf becomes increasingly humid thus reducing the rate of transpiration. When a breeze is present, the humid air is carried away and replaced by drier air.
A plant cannot continue to transpire rapidly if its water loss is not made up by replacement from the soil. When absorption of water by the roots fails to keep up with the rate of transpiration, loss of turgor occurs, and the stomata close. This immediately reduces the rate of transpiration (as well as of photosynthesis). If the loss of turgor extends to the rest of the leaf and stem, the plant wilts.

Mercury's SURFACE strongly resembles that of EARTH's SURFACE, with very large impact CRATERS
Mercury, the second densest of all planets shares an exterior similarity with the Earth's moon. Given the rough-like exterior feature of the moon, Mercury surface is scarred by craters due to the collisions of comets and meteroids.
Organisms with the most favourable traits will increase their success rate in a particular environment. Organisms with favorable traits are more likely to reproduce and pass on their traits than organisms without favorable traits, allowing it to survive.
