According to a cladistically-based classification system, tarsiers are: A. Prosimians, partly because of their nocturnal habits and small body size B. Prosimians, partly because of the presence of a tapetum lucidum and a rhinarium C. Strepsirrhines, partly because of the presence of rhinarium and vomeronasal organ D. Haplorhines, partly because of their partial post-orbital closure and fused frontal bones
