Answer

C More advanced ceratopsians may also have lived in Asia

Turanoceratops was a horned dinosaur discovered in what is now Uzbekistan.
Its discovery drew attention to the possibility that more derived ceratopsians lived in Asia as well as North America.
However, because the known fossils are fragmentary, debate continues over whether Turanoceratops can be classified as a member of Ceratopsidae.
