Solution
The correct option is C Tree shrews
The first primate, like mammals or proto-primates, evolved in the early Paleocene Epoch (65.5 - 55.8 million years ago) at the beginning of the Cenozoic Era. They were roughly similar to squirrels and tree shrews in size and appearance. The existing, very fragmentary fossil evidence (from Asia, Europe, North Africa and especially Western North America) suggests that they were adapted to an arboreal way of life in warm, moist climates. They probably were equipped with hands and feet adapted for climbing in trees. Thus, option C is correct. Early primates does not resembled apes, humans and egg laying mammals.
