The relationship that reflects causation is:
**When zookeepers care for more lions, they spend more time cleaning the lions' enclosure.**
This indicates that as the number of lions increases, the time spent cleaning their enclosure also increases, suggesting a direct cause-and-effect relationship. The other examples show correlations but do not indicate that one factor directly causes the other.
