Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the options listed are characteristics of the primates. Primate nails are flatter and allow for finer dexterity than claws. A grasping thumb and big toe allow for gripping and climbing, making primates arboreal. Eyes in the front of the face result in overlapping fields of vision and depth perception, which are important for judging distances while jumping and grabbing objects.
