A Correct answer
Explanation

In vi, the substitute command syntax is ':s/pattern/replacement/g' for global substitution throughout the file. Option A has the correct format with the leading '/' which indicates the command range, though it should be ':s/lion/tiger/g' to replace all occurrences. The leading '/' means 'current line through last line'.
