Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The first option correctly improves the sentence.

It adds necessary articles, clarifies that one buffalo is defending another against a lion, and maintains the subject-verb agreement.

The other options are grammatically incorrect and do not convey the intended meaning of the sentence.

So, the correct sentence should be: " A buffalo cannot defend another buffalo against a lion. "
