A) catarrhines and platyrrhines.
B) Gigantopithecus and Pierolapithecus.
C) those whose ecological adaptations are similar to our own (terrestrial monkeys and apes) , and those most closely related to us, the great apes (chimpanzees and gorillas) .
D) those that are in the tribe hominini, and those in the family hominidae.
E) those with whom we share the least number of homologies, and those with whom we share the most analogies.
