Answer

Brief Explanations:

The passage first mentions that both lions and tigers are powerful big cats (a similarity - they are both big cats). Then it contrasts their social behavior: lions live in prides with complex social hierarchies, while tigers are solitary hunters. So the author is contrasting behavioral differences while noting a similarity (they are both big cats).

Answer:

C. Contrasting behavioral differences while noting similarities
