Explanation:

Cesare Lombroso's theory of the born criminal (atavistic theory) defines atavistic stigmata as physical features of creatures at an earlier stage of development (more primitive, pre - human) that criminals possess, suggesting they are evolutionary throwbacks. The last option describes physical features of earlier - stage creatures before full human development, which matches Lombroso's concept of atavistic stigmata. The other options: the first is about psychological anomalies, the second about moral sentiments, the third about inherited delinquent traits (not physical stigmata), and the fourth about brain changes for moral distinction, none match the definition of atavistic stigmata.

Answer:

physical features of creatures at an earlier stage of development, before they became fully human.
