The correct option is C.

Primates are triochromatic, that is, their eyes are equipped to differentiate clearly between three colors, which are blue, green and red. This feature allows them to distinguished between ripe and unripe fruits and to have full wide range of vision. Primates need their two eyes to have a full range of vision, thus when one eye is absent, it drastically affect how far the affected animal can see and makes estimation of distances of objects quite difficult.
