The correct answer is d) fire. A fire can benefit the lodgepole pine trees by clearing out competing vegetation and opening up space for the new seeds to germinate. Additionally, the intense heat from the fire can open up the serotinous cones, releasing the seeds and allowing them to spread and establish new trees.
