Solution
D introduces the subject and the contrast: 'the lion used to be widely distributed...but today'. C follows with the present situation, ending in 'because of', which requires the cause given in A ('indiscriminate killing by hunters...hence'). 'Hence' then leads to the consequence in B ('special forest zones set aside'). Order: D, C, A, B.
