B: They arose in different parts of the world at the same time.
C: They arose in Africa and spread to the rest of the world.
D: They once lived in Africa but were replaced by modern humans.

Answer 1

Scientists believe that:

C: They arose in Africa and spread to the rest of the world.

This perspective is often referred to as the "Out of Africa" theory, which suggests that modern humans (Homo sapiens) originated in Africa and then migrated to other parts of the world, eventually replacing other hominin species.
