The answer is (A). IS the answer is right?
Q1:Doesn't the B need to say like this? Yes. There is a tiger in the picture.
'Yes, there is a lion in the picture' is correct as far as punctuation is concerned. We don't need to start a new sentence after 'yes'. However, there isn't a lion - there is a tiger.
3. Is there a lion there?.....Yes, there ___. There are two lions.
(A) is (B) are
(B) is right.
1.A: Are there any lions in the picture?
B: Yes. There is a tiger in the picture. .....Or,.....Yes, there are. There is a tiger in the picture.
Both would be correct - if there were a lion. However, there isn't.
2.Is there any lion in the picture? This sentence is not very natural.
B: Yes. There are 2 tigers in the picture. .....Or,.....Yes, there is are. There are 2 tigers in the picture

Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
