C) her remains, which are amazingly complete, include a remarkably well-preserved skull, milk teeth, tiny fingers, a torso, a foot, and a kneecap.
D) the fossil suggests that the child died because her brain, which appears to have been larger than an average chimp brain at that age, was too large for her slowly developing skull.
