E seems most reasonable
mona monkeys is plural ---->"mona" is adjective and monkeys is plural
a collection of monkeys would be considered as collective noun.BTW "tribe" is singular (collection of monkey is known as tribe )

Why mona monkeys cant be considered as a collective noun?
You could make an argument that in some situations "Mona monkeys" could be viewed as a collective noun (although it would probably be written as "the mona monkey), but here it is clear that they are plural because of the plural verb form - have been. Remember your numbering clues on SC -- If you need to know the number (singular/plural) for pronouns, look to the noun (Mona monkeys). If you need to know the number of the noun, look at the plural/single nature of the verb (have been).
