Answer:

A. longer pregnancies & periods of infant dependency

Explanation:

Primates are known to mature slowly compared to other mammals, they have a longer gestation period and longer period of infant dependency. Therefore the period between birth and adulthood is usually longer compared to other mammals, which then result to late age in their first reproduction.

For example humans have a gestation period of 365 days while baboons is 187 days compared to rabbits with a gestation period of about 33 days or  mice with a gestation period of about 20 days

Of any primate, humans exhibit the longest period of infant dependency, Chimpanzee is about 5 years compared to other mammals.

Plant cells

<span>There are several starting ingredients that are required for starting the process of photosynthesis. The most important are sunlight, water, carbon dioxide and certain minerals. Sunlight helps in building up the optimum temperature that is required to start the process of photosynthesis. Water is an important raw material that helps to absorb the carbon dioxide from the air. It also directly influences the opening and closing of the stomata. Carbon dioxide on the other hand is one of the most important raw material that helps to make glucose via the process of photosynthesis.</span>
