When you paraphrase something, you cover all the information as concisely as possible, without leaving out details or drawing conclusions. Here's how it works:

gorillas may look threatening—"gorillas look imposing"

family-oriented animals—"protect their families"

they are the largest of all primates—"as the largest primates"

but as plant-eating animals, do not bother other creatures/they are peaceful—"in reality, they eat plants...and keep to themselves"

Answer: A. As the largest primates, gorillas look imposing. In reality, they eat plants, protect their families, and keep to themselves. 

*Choice B is just rearranged, choice C is just punctuated differently, and choice D is more professional with word choice but otherwise the same. Choice A is the only one that summarizes.

Hope this helps!
