The correct answer is C) The prehensile gripping tail of a spider monkey

Step-by-step explanation:

An adaption makes an organism or species more suitable to survive and reproduce in a specific environment. This includes behaviors as well as physical features such as organs. This implies, in the case of the canopy of a tropical rainforest one effective adaptation is "The prehensile gripping tail of a spider monkey" because this type of tail allows the spider monkey to move faster in the forest, which contributes to the monkeys finding resources such as food and scaping from possible predators. Therefore, a prehensile gripping tail is an adaptation in this context as it makes this species more likely to survive and reproduce. Also, other options re not directly related to the canopy of the tropical rainforest.
