Answer: a. obligate bipeds

Explanation:

Obligate bipedalism is a characteristic feature of hominins. These organisms are adapted to walk on two legs instead of four limbs. It is a mode of locomotion that involves activities like walking, running, jogging and others seen in humans and their primitive ancestors, only few animals practice bipedalism as their usual means of locomotion.
