Solution

The correct option is A True
Lemurs are a type of prosimian, which means they are primates that evolved before monkeys and apes. They are more primitive than their cousins i.e. monkeys and apes but share certain characteristics with them. Found in only one area on Earth—Madagascar and the nearby Comoro Islands—lemurs are considered the world’s most endangered group of mammals.
Hence, the correct answer is 'True'.
