The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for an animal that hangs upside down from tree branches. 2. **Identifying the Options**: We need to consider the given options (though not explicitly listed in the question) and analyze which of them is known for hanging upside down. 3. **Analyzing the Sloth**: - Sloths are arboreal mammals, meaning they live in trees. - They are known for their very slow movement and low metabolism. - Sloths spend most of their life hanging upside down from tree branches, which is a characteristic behavior. 4. **Evaluating Other Animals**: - **Baboon**: Baboons are large monkeys that do not hang upside down; they are terrestrial and primarily found on the ground or in trees but do not exhibit the hanging behavior. - **Rhesus Monkey**: This species is native to India and does not hang upside down from trees. - **Gibbon**: Gibbons are also monkeys but are not known for hanging upside down; they swing from branches. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the only animal that fits the description of hanging upside down from tree branches is the sloth. **Final Answer**: The animal which hangs upside down from tree branches is the **sloth**. ---
