Answer: A

Explanation:

The common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees had 24 pairs of chromosomes, and at some point in the human lineage, two chromosomes fused end to end, providing some selective advantage.

Scientists have proved that the reason why humans have 23 chromosomes and chimpanzees have 24 is that there was an end-to-end fusion of two ancestral chromosomes resulting 1 and it is believed that this fusion conferred in man certain obvious advantages over the chimpanzees.
