Nope. Most words that end in -ly are adverbs, not adjectives.

So its C?
Yes, C.
To find the sentence in which the italicized word is an adjective, you need to check each sentence and identify if the italicized word describes or modifies a noun.
A. "Evening bats feed greedily on insects." In this sentence, the word "greedily" is an adverb as it describes how the bats feed, not describing a noun.
B. "They appear in the sky just after sunset." Here, the word "after" is a preposition, not an adjective.
C. "These bats are among the smallest of the species." The word "smallest" is indeed an adjective as it describes the noun "bats." So this is the correct sentence.
D. "Their fingers resemble those of human hands." In this sentence, the word "resemble" is a verb, not an adjective.
Therefore, the correct sentence is C. "These bats are among the smallest of the species." The word "smallest" is the adjective in that sentence.
