Lions . 100,000 .→ 47,000
Cheetahs 50,000 → 7,500
Zebras 15,000 → 2,500

Which explanation is best supported by the numbers in the chart?
A)Lion and cheetah populations compete for the food source of zebras, and lions outcompete cheetahs.
B)The dwindling zebra population has led to the decline of the predator lion and cheetah populations.
C)Overhunting of lion and cheetah populations has led to a decline in the food source population.
D)Lion and cheetah populations compete for the food source of zebras, and cheetahs outcompete lions.
