Solution
The correct option is A Order
The order of Primates has traditionally been split into Prosimii (primitive primates: lemurs, lorises, and tarsiers) and Anthropoidea (larger-brained monkeys and apes, including humans). It is now known that one of the "prosimians," the tarsier, is in fact closer to the "anthropoids," so the primates ' classification had to be revised.Carnivore, any mammalian member of the Carnivora order (literally "flesh devorers" in Latin), which includes more than 270 species. A carnivore is, in a more general sense, any animal (or plant; see carnivorous plant) eating other animals as opposed to an herbivore eating crops. Although the species categorized in this order are essentially meat eaters, a significant amount of them also feed widely on vegetation, particularly among bears and members of the raccoon family, and are therefore omnivorous in fact.
