Lioness go for hunting
Answer: C
The line "lionesses are in front, tensely scanning ahead, the cubs lag playfully behind and the males bring up the rear, walking slowly, their massive heads nodding with each step as if they were bored with the whole matter". Clears that lionesses are in front, behind are cubs playing and male lion too walking slowly. So although lionesses hunt alone but male lions and cubs also come along. option C is correct.
