Answer #1

Option B is correct .​​All New and Old World monkeys are endangered today.

explanation :-option A and D are incorrect as along with gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and bonobos humans also classified under great apes or apes. Humans are classified along with all other apes in a primate sub-group known as the hominoids, so we cannot say that​ all primates everywhere are endangered today.
