keywords: 

{'many primates': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'echinoderms': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'sponges': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'habitats': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'insects': [1, 0, 1, 2], 'kinds': [1, 0, 3, 7]}

The correct answer is option 2: 3 and 4 only.

Let`s dissect each statement to understand why this option is correct:

1. All Echinoderms are not marine: This statement is incorrect. Echinoderms are a group of marine animals that include creatures like starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. Therefore, this statement is false.

2. Sponges are exclusively marine: This statement is not mentioned in the given options. Therefore, we cannot determine whether it is correct or not based on the information provided.

3. Insects are found in all kinds of habitats: This statement is correct. Insects are a diverse group of animals that can be found in various habitats, including land, water, and air. Therefore, this statement is true.

4. Many primates are arboreal: This statement is correct. Arboreal refers to animals that live primarily in trees. Many primates, such as monkeys and lemurs, are adapted for living in trees and spend a significant amount of their time in the canopy. Therefore, this statement is true.

Based on the explained analysis, option 2 is correct as it includes statement 3 and 4, which are both true.
