{'primates': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'animals': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'kangaroos': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'lemurs': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'giraffes': [1, 0, 2, 1], 'rabbits': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'koalas': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'zebras': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'hares': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'lorises': [0, 0, 2, 1]}

Option 1 - Giraffes and Zebras: Giraffes and Zebras are not primates. They belong to a different animal group called ungulates, which includes mammals with hooves.

Option 2 - Kangaroos and Koalas: Kangaroos and Koalas are also not primates. They are marsupials, which have unique characteristics such as carrying their young in a pouch.

Option 3 - Lemurs and Lorises: This option is correct. Both lemurs and lorises are primates. Primates are a group of mammals that includes humans, apes, monkeys, lemurs, and lorises. They have certain distinguishing features like forward-facing eyes, grasping hands, and complex social behaviors.

Option 4 - Rabbits and Hares: Rabbits and Hares are not primates. They belong to a different group called lagomorphs, which have characteristics like two pairs of continuously growing incisors and long hind legs for hopping.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 3 since lemurs and lorises are indeed primates.
