The correct option is B) Hoolock gibbon.
The only ape found in India is the tailless Hoolock gibbon. The primate is a native of Southwest China, Northeast India, and Eastern Bangladesh. They inhabit small communities in the forest hillsides and consume delicate foliage, fruits, and insects. The difference between males and females is that males have a black coat, while females have a lighter, greyish-coloured coat.
The Western Hoolock gibbon and the Eastern Hoolock gibbon are the two types of this primate.
The Western Hoolock gibbon exists in the region between the Brahmaputra and the Dibang rivers in all of the northeastern states. Additionally, it can be found outside of India in northwestern Myanmar and eastern Bangladesh.
Specific areas of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam in India, as well as southern China and northeastern Myanmar outside of India, are home to Eastern Hoolock gibbon.
