Hi,

Generally on the GMAT, "being" is wrong. But more importantly here, the subject is "group". Group is a collective noun and is singular even though it is composed of many things, here macaques. Thus, eliminate (A), (D) and (E) because they read group . . . are.

For B and C, the issue is the preposition. We say susceptible to, not of. Thus, eliminate (B).

Cheers,

GMATDAVID is incorrect. The OA is B, not C. I think he meant to say, "eliminate C."

Thanks. I knew as I hit post, I might have switched the two answers.
