Solution

The correct option is D Lemur
The opposable thumb is a characteristic feature of Primates. This helps them hold objects and establish strong grips.
Only Lemurs are Primates hence have an opposable thumb.
Kangaroo, Mole and Platypus are not primates hence do not possess opposable thumbs.
So the correct answer is 'Lemur'.
