In predation, the predator that has greater control over its prey is the snake. This is because snakes are equipped with specialized adaptations such as venom and strong coils of their body to subdue and hold their prey. They have the ability to immobilize their prey quickly and effectively, ensuring that it cannot escape. On the other hand, lions, owls, and lizards rely more on their physical strength and agility to capture their prey, but may have less control once the prey is caught. While lions are powerful hunters and can overpower their prey through brute force, snakes have a unique advantage with their venom and ability to constrict, giving them a higher level of control over their prey. Thus, in the given options, the snake is the predator that will have the greater control over its prey.
