Answer 2

The correct answer is option C, hominoids

Step-by-step explanation:

Hominoids are the part of taxonomic family Hominidae. These hominoids include chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutan and gibbon. Humans are distantly related to gibbons but since hominoid is a taxonomic group that is monophyletic thus it includes all the descendants of one ancestor. Therefore, all species belonging to apes are considered under hominoids. Chimpanzees, Gorillas are close to apes while bonobos, orangutans, and gibbons are considered as lesser apes.
