The correct response is:
**The carbon ends up in the lion's food chain.**
Here's a brief explanation: Carbon from the grass is incorporated into the plant through photosynthesis. When a herbivore (like a zebra or antelope) eats the grass, it ingests the carbon. Then, when a lion eats that herbivore, the carbon is transferred and becomes part of the lion's body. Thus, the carbon initially from the grass is ultimately included in the lion through the food chain.
