I go with D. THe conclusion says any adult male will dominate any female in the colony. So if the female is dominating the colony, it must be because the male is not an adult male.

I too go with "D" ..
A can be ruled out because what determines relationship between two male monkeys can not be inferred.

D
any adult male will dominate any female hence if a female is dominating a male it means that the male is not adult
