B. The birthrate of zebras increases.

When the population of the zebra decreases, the food for the lions decrease. So, the death rate of the lions would increase. It's all a balance. 

"A" 'The death rate of lions increases.' would be the correct answer.

I hope this helps!

I believe it is A. The death rate of lions increases. This is because as the zebra population decreases, the lions have less food to eat.

I hope this helps :)
