Solution

The correct answer is c. hair, enhanced sense of vision, complex brains.

Here's why:

a. Fur, reduced sense of touch, complex brains - Primates do not have fur, they have hair. Also, they do not have a reduced sense of touch. In fact, they have a highly developed sense of touch.

b. Fur, enhanced sense of smell, arboreal capabilities - Again, primates have hair, not fur. Also, primates do not have an enhanced sense of smell. They rely more on their vision.

c. Hair, enhanced sense of vision, complex brains - This is correct. All primates have hair, not fur. They have an enhanced sense of vision, which is why they are often diurnal (active during the day). They also have complex brains, which allows for advanced problem solving and social interaction.

d. Hair, reduced sense of taste, bipedalism - While primates do have hair, they do not have a reduced sense of taste. Also, not all primates are bipedal. Some primates, like humans, are bipedal, but many others, like gorillas and chimpanzees, are quadrupedal.
