Which one of the fol lowing groups of animals are primates ?

The Order Primates is a diverse group of placental mammals that includes lemurs, lorises, tarsiers, monkeys, apes, and humans [t1][t4]. Lemurs and lorises specifically belong to the suborder Strepsirrhini [t5][t9]. In contrast, other options represent different mammalian orders. Giraffes and zebras are classified as ungulates (specifically Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla respectively) [c5][t6]. Kangaroos and koalas are marsupials (Infraclass Metatheria), characterized by their pouches for carrying young [c1][c2][t8]. Rabbits and hares belong to the Order Lagomorpha, distinguished by their strictly herbivorous diet and continuously growing incisors [t1][t6][t7]. Therefore, only lemurs and lorises are primates, sharing anatomical and behavioral traits such as large brains and dexterous hands with other members of the primate order [t2][t4].
