Villafranchian fauna is of

  • A.Upper Palaeolithic period
  • B.Wurm Ice Age
  • C.Early Holocene period
  • D.Lower Pleistocene period

Answer: D

The Villafranchian fauna belongs to the Lower Pleistocene period. It is the mammal assemblage of the Villafranchian stage of Europe (with early elephants, horses of the Equus line and cattle) which marks the first part of the Pleistocene, around two million to one million years ago.

The Upper Palaeolithic and the Wurm Ice Age are much later, within the Upper Pleistocene, and the early Holocene period is later still, after the last glaciation. So none of these three is the age of the Villafranchian fauna.
