Hint:An easy clue is to think of the adaptations that the animals have.
Tropical evergreen forests are dense forests. These forests are warm and wet and the animals living there are adapted to it.

Complete answer:
A. Monkeys are found very commonly in tropical evergreen forests. The dense canopy which is always covered with leaves provides the ideal habitat for these arboreal animals. There are many different species of monkeys found in these forests. Therefore, this is the correct option.
B. Giraffes are not found in tropical evergreen forests. They are instead found in the sub-Saharan savannah in Africa. The dense foliage of the forests would be very disadvantageous to giraffes due to their size. So, this is not the correct option.
C. Camels are not found in tropical evergreen forests. They are instead found in deserts or grasslands like the prairie or steppe. They are adapted to arid climates and a rainforest would not be suitable to them. So, this is not the correct option either.
D. Polar bears are not found in the tropical evergreen forests. Instead, they are found in between the north of the Arctic Circle and the North Pole. There are some populations in the Hudson Bay as well. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Hence the correct answer is option A.

Note:Monkeys in the evergreen rainforests include species like howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, spider monkeys, capuchin monkeys, marmosets and tamarins.
There are two types of camels, the dromedary camel (Arabian camel) found in North Africa and the Middle East; and the Bactrian camel found in Central Asia.
Giraffes have the largest hearts among all land mammals. Their hearts weigh about 11kgs.
Polar bears are now very endangered due to severe habitat loss and global climate change.
