The correct Answer is:
D
The old world monkeys posses a narrow nose with closely placed and downwardly directed nostrils, short tail, opposable thumb and mailed digit and are well adapted for grasping. They are closer to man as they have better developed brain, smaller ear pinnae, sensitive finger tips, presence of both rods and cone in the retina of eyes etc.
