Solution

The correct option is D Whales and Dolphins
Whales and Dolphins have echolocation system which involves the generation of ultrasonic sound which in turn produces echoes which are then reflected back by any obstacles in their path. This helps them in locomotion and catching their prey even with poor visibility.
Primates, Wild Cats and Beavers do not use echolocation for locomotion or predation. While primates and wild cats have good vision, beavers have an extremely good sense of hearing, smell and touch.
So the correct answer is 'Whales and Dolphins'.
