GMAT Sentence Correction (SC) | Re: Even today, lions can be seen ruling the African plains ,

Even today, lions can be seen ruling the African plains, hunting almost any animal that crosses its path and intimidating all but the most intrepid hunters.

(C) lions rule the African plains

(D) the lion rules the African plains

Immediately narrowed down the answers to C and D. Ultimately chose D because "hunting" implies a singular lion, as does "crosses its path."
