(N/A) If all lions are removed,the population of deer will increase significantly due to the lack of predators. This overpopulation will lead to overgrazing,causing a depletion of grass,which may eventually result in soil erosion.
$(b)$ If all deer are removed,the lions will lose their primary food source,leading to a decline in the lion population due to starvation. Conversely,the amount of grass will increase as there are no herbivores to consume it.
