Why is having a healthy lion population in an African savanna important for maintaining biodiversity in that ecosystem? C

If the population of lions decreases, there would be less water available for other animals like zebras and antelopes, leading to drought in the ecosystem.
.
The lions are better at hunting animals like zebras and antelopes, ensuring that other predators like cheetahs and hyenas will be outcompeted and eventually become
extinct.

O
The lions eat enough of the zebras, antelopes, and other plant-eating animals to ensure that they do not overgraze the grass and trees, leading to starvation of the other
animals.
Without the lions to eat animals like zebras and antelopes, there would be fewer predators to consume these animals, causing the zebras and antelopes to consume each
other.
