B Correct answer
Explanation

Here, 'size' is the correct option as size is the relative extent of something, here it is the tiger. 'Volume' is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies, or that is enclosed within a container. 'Amount' is a quantity of something and 'dimension' is a measurable extent of a particular kind, such as length, breadth, depth or height. Here, the passage is talking about the size of tiger, and not about its volume, amount or dimensions. Other options are irrelevant in this context.
