The first door has fire spreading that will consume the man within a few seconds. This door is definitely not an option, as it will kill the man. The third door has light shining so bright that it will blind the man. Preferable compared to the first door, but it won't leave the man unscathed.
The second door is the answer. It has lions who haven't eaten in 8 months. If that is true, then by the time the man enters the room, all of the lions would already be dead. So, the man would be able to escape safely.
