Options A and B seem to mean the same thing. "Irregularity" and "Lack of ordered patterns" mean the same, don't they? Moreover, option B is more closer to the passage. As, "lack of ordered patterns" is more closer in meaning to "asymmetry" than "irregularity".

Question:
DIRECTIONS: You have passages with 5 questions following passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


Scientists show that there is a curious relationship between a lion's life span and the pattern of sports on each side of its face. Each spot is associated with the root of a whisker, and the pattern of spots is as characteristic of an individual lion as is a finger print of a person. But the placement varies between the two sides of the face. Males with a greater degree of asymmetry tend to die younger than their, more evenly-envisaged colleagues. Thus can a male's life be read in his face: it is his autobiography.

What is the conclusion of scientists regarding the placement of spots on either side of a lion's face?
Options:
A) Males with a greater degree of irregularity in spot patterns have shorter life spans
B) Males with a greater degree of lack of ordered spot patterns have shorter life spans
C) Males with very few spots on their bodies die younger
D) Males with evenly placed spots on both sides of the face die sooner
Solution:
Ans: (a) The passage, says that male lions with a greater degree of asymmetry tend to die younger than their, more evenly-envisaged colleagues.

option a is correct as it is mentioned in passage and in option b lack of ordered spots means there can be no spots so option is not clearing the idea of asymmetry or irregularity
