the answer should be C... reason being that as the predator or carnivour(lion) is being removed it'd result to a consequent increase in the number of herbivores(rabbit) since there's no more prey predation relationship

i think B is actually correct, cos its not only lion that feed on rabbit, man also do as shown in the food web, removing lion also means more men would survive, and more men would be available to feed on the rabbit too, so C is not actually correct. Man would occupy the apex of the web , if lion is removed so B should be correct.

The correct answer is:

C. There would be more rabbit in the web

Explanation:
The lion in the food web is a top predator. If the lion is removed from the web:

The population of its prey, such as the rabbit, would likely increase because there would be fewer predators to keep the rabbit population in check.

The number of organisms at each trophic level would not necessarily increase overall, as other factors (like available resources) influence this.

The removal of the lion would not directly cause man to occupy the apex of the food web, as humans are typically not part of the natural food chain in the same way.

The energy reaching the remaining trophic levels would not necessarily increase, as the lion's role in the food web was not to directly influence energy transfer but rather to regulate the populations of its prey.
