the best answer would be "The deer population experienced a rapid decline due to a parasite." the deer population would probably be their main source of food, and according to the food chain, if they die...lions won't have food to eat!! xD

it wouldn't be the first one cause a genetic variability would only affect those who got the negative ones and if it's good..i guess they survive?

the last one wont make sense because it won't affect the lions or their main source of food..
