  1. No protected animals are tarsiers.
  2. Some protected animals are not tarsiers.
  3. Some tarsiers are not protected animals.
  4. Some tarsiers are protected animals.

Answer

D. Some tarsiers are protected animals.

Solution

All tarsiers are primates, and none of the primates are protected animals, so none of the tarsiers are protected animals. Therefore "Some tarsiers are protected animals" must be false. Each of the other statements could be true in at least one situation that fits the premises.
