Answer:

C. Prehensile tail

Step-by-step explanation:

Prehensile tail evolved within a small order of mammals call the primates which the monkey fall under.

A prehensile tail is the tail of an animal that has adapted to grasp or hold and manipulate objects, and to aid arboreal (animals living in the trees) animals in finding and eating food in the trees.
