The evolutionary tree shows that anthropoids (monkeys, apes, and humans) split into two main groups: New World monkeys (found in Central and South America) and Old World monkeys and apes (found in Asia and Africa). Since the specimen is estimated to be 42 million years old, it would have existed during a time when both New World and Old World monkeys were present, so it could be either one. Option B is incorrect because lemurs are not anthropoids, they are strepsirrhine primates. Option C is incorrect because tarsiers are also not anthropoids, they are haplorhine primates. Option D is incorrect because the tree already shows the ancestral primate that gave rise to anthropoids.
