The correct option is A Lion-tailed macaque
Lion-tailed macaque, also known as the wanderoo, is an Old World monkey which is endemic to the Western Ghats of South India. It is one of the rarest and most threatened primates. It is an endangered animal, and the risk of its extinction is increasing because of increased habitat loss of this primate. It dwells in the upper canopy of tropical moist evergreen forests and is a human avoider.
So, the correct answer is 'Lion-tailed macaque'.
