Explanation:

• Option B: Predecessors of Homo sapiens, like Homo erectus, also had the ability to control complex tools (e.g., making and using stone tools), so this is not unique to Homo sapiens.
• Option C: Bipedalism is a trait that appeared in earlier hominins (e.g., Australopithecus) and is not unique to Homo sapiens.
• Option A: Complex spoken language, with advanced syntax and the ability to convey abstract ideas, is a key distinguishing feature of Homo sapiens. Their predecessors did not have such a complex spoken language system.
