OA will be later.[/spoiler]
This question is about parallelism, signaled by the "and" at the end of the sentence. There's no Oxford comma before the "and," so we know there are only two items in this list. That means we aren't going to match up ruling/hunting/intimidating. So the sentence needs a main verb that we'll modify with hunting/intimidating.

The pronoun issue, "its," means our antecedent needs to be the singular "the lion." There's no reason to have the word "species" in there, so the answer is (E).

Hi Tommy,

I think you meant the answer is D. :)

Thanks.

Hey Challenger,

The answer is definitely not C! The pronoun disagreement between "lions" and "its" is no good!

Sorry, that was a typo.

For sure, C is wrong, because of the pronoun error.

Corrected OA. Next time I will try to avoid typos.
Thanks.
