Option A is not true as goose bumps are not solely for warmth, but also as a response to fear or other emotional stimuli. Option B is not true as humans are still evolving, though the rate of evolution may have slowed down. Option C is not true as evolution is not a linear or one-directional process, and not all traits that evolve can be considered as an improvement.
