Answer»

Correct answer is (d) Hind limbs PROVIDED with longer toes

To explain I would SAY: Hind limbs provided with longer toes are a characteristic of arboreal adaptation. Along with this arboreal ANIMALS have a long prehensile TAIL (monkeys) with strong and stout limbs. They also have opposable digits (marsupials) and elongated CLAWS (squirrels).
