Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, old world monkeys.

Step-by-step explanation:

The monkeys are differentiated into two prime groups, that is, the New World monkeys and the Old World monkeys. The Old World monkeys comprising baboons inhabit Asia and Africa and are more closely associated with the apes, that is, the New World monkeys. They are usually bigger in comparison to the New World monkeys and exhibit more elongated faces, and a tail, which is not prehensile.
