The correct answer is: C.Hyenas face less competition and thrive.

Explanation:

1.Poaching of lions reduces the lion population, which means there is less competition for resources like kills, especially from apex predators like lions.

2.Hyenas, which often compete with lions for food, would likely benefit from this decrease in competition. With fewer lions around to challenge them, hyenas can more easily access the same food resources, leading to an increase in their population and overall success.

Let's look at the other options:

A.Hyenas face more competition from other predators.

This is unlikely. The poaching of lions specifically reduces competiti...
