Answer 1

Competition drives lions to have tan fur for better camouflage, which contributes to their adaptation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is A) Competition drives lions to have tan fur for better camouflage.

When male lions reach sexual maturity, they are thrown out of their group, or pride, and must live on their own or with other males until they can take over their own pride.

During this time, they compete with other male lions for the right to mate with females.

Lions with tan fur are better camouflaged in their natural habitat, allowing them to blend in with the surroundings and increase their chances of successful hunting.

This gives them an advantage in competition and contributes to the adaptation of the trait for tan fur.
