Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The burial of the dead is a cultural practice that is unique to Neandertals among hominins in the Pleistocene. This practice likely contributed to the preservation of Neandertal remains in the fossil record, as bones and skulls were intentionally placed in graves and covered with sediment.
