Solution
The correct option is C Large in size
Small size provides many advantages to arboreal species: such as increasing the relative size of branches to the animal, lower centre of mass, increased stability, lower mass (allowing movement on smaller branches), and the ability to move through the more cluttered habitat.
Claws can be used to interact with rough surfaces and change the direction of forces the animal applies.
Arboreal animals frequently have elongated limbs that help them cross gaps, reach fruit or other resources, test the firmness of support ahead.
Many arboreal species lower their centre of mass to reduce pitching and toppling movement when climbing.
