解释
The correct answer is C. Opposable.
Monkeys have opposable thumbs (or digits), which means they can rotate their thumbs to touch their other fingers. This adaptation allows them to:
- Grasp branches and climb through trees
- Hold onto food or objects
- Perform various manipulative tasks
Opposable thumbs are a key adaptation for arboreal (tree-dwelling) primates like monkeys!
