Directions to Solve
Male lions are rather reticent about expanding their energy in hunting more than three quarters of kills are made by 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. But slothfulness may have survival value. With lionesses busy hunting, the males function as guard for the cubs, protecting them particularly from hyenas.

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.

In fact, not only a lioness whole family goes for hunting. But while the hunt is only done by lioness while others in family such as cubs, they play around. Male lion takes care of their cubs from getting attacked by enemies or falling prey for other animals especially hyenas. Where ever they go they all would be together.

I think option (C) is correct because the male lions go hunting with their cubs to teach how to hunt animals or prey.
