Character which is closely related to human evolution :
A Disappearance of tail
B Reduction in size of jaws
C Binocular vision
D Flat nails

Detailed Solution

Disappearance of the tail, binocular vision and flat nails are features shared by all apes (and many primates), so they are not specific to human evolution.
During human evolution, with the use of fire and cooked food and the enlargement of the brain, the jaws and teeth became smaller and the face flatter, while the skull grew larger.
So reduction in the size of the jaws is closely related to human evolution.
