Escape is spelled correctly in the excerpt. Escape does not have an x. This means option A is wrong and B is correct. C is also wrong because of the spelling of escape and also because it uses the wrong there. In the sentence, their is a possessive adjective. It shows that enemies "belong" to the monkeys since they are the enemies of the monkeys. There means a place, as in over there. They're is a contraction meaning they are.
