The fossil record indicates several trends in the evolution of hominin skulls. Among the options you provided, the most accurate statement is:

D) Da part of skull surrounding da brain grew larger as Hominins evolved.

As hominins evolved, there was a notable increase in brain size (cranial capacity) relative to earlier ancestors, along with changes in the overall shape of the skull. This shift is associated with various cognitive and behavioral changes in our ancestors.
