Q. Which one of the following makes a tool with a stick to scrape insects from a hole in a tree or a log of wood?

[A] Fishing cat

[B] Orangutan

[C] Otter

[D] Sloth bear

Answer: B
Notes:

Option b is correct: The present study examined the use and making of tools to obtain foodstuffs in artificial-mound holes by five captive, group-living Sumatran orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus abelii). Three adult orangutans frequently stripped leaves and twigs from a branch provided (tool-making), and then inserted the tool into a hole to obtain foodstuffs (tool-using). When the orangutans were unable to insert a tool into a hole, they usually modified the tool and/or changed their tool-using technique, such as changing how they grasped the tool.
