OA is option C
Can I eliminate option B on the basis of logic that “the zoo designed a special environment for its lions” …here zoo is doing the designing part, i.e inanimate object doing humanly thing and hence gives wrong meaning. If yes, then for C, isn’t it wrongly implying that zoo – an inanimate body – designed the environment? Read as “ ….. lion in an environment that it (zoo) specially designed (past tense verb)

Hello Rickooreo,

We hope this finds you well.

To answer your query, no; Option B cannot be dismissed as per the logic you have mentioned here - a "zoo" can be defined as an organization, and organizations are inanimate objects that can logically be said to undertake the action of "designing".

We hope this helps.
All the best!
