Primate communication can be compared to human communication in that:________.
a. primate communication is very simple and across all the species consists of only a handful of "meaningful" sounds; this is entirely different from human language.
b. although some primates have the ability to transmit meaning from one individual to another, this always happens within a species, never between species; this is similar to humans, since humans do not really understand other animals either.
c. many primates make sounds that seem to be labels for things, like specific food items or specific predators, but primate communication lacks nuance or complexity of any kind; this is unlike human language.
d. for at least some Old World monkeys and apes, communication seems to be very context dependent, and specific sounds can have different meanings by making small changes; this is like human language.

b. although some primates have the ability to transmit meaning from one individual to another, this always happens within a species, never between species; this is similar to humans, since humans do not really understand other animals either.

Explanation:

Transmission of information or message often takes place between species of same kind.

Human can better understand the language, sounds, signs made by fellow human and not sounds from other species of animals or other organism, this is because language or system of communication is attached to a particular domain or organism of a species. Birds communicate differently from a Goat, human does likewise from other primates.

The system of communication is used to a particular locality and if not learned it is not understandable by another species of organism.
