As per the given all information in above question ,
Write down the information given
L → D ( Lion and Dear cannot be together )
P → D & Bs ( A Panther cannot be with a Dear or a Bison )
Suman → L
Mohan → L + P
Jack → P or B
Hence we can short out following table
Since Z & P have the same pair of animals, the other 3 enclosures viz. X, Y and Q must contain the other 3 species within themselves.
So apart from Lion and panther, Bear must be third species in X, Y, Q.
Correct Option: C
