Solution
The correct option is C Poison fangs of snakes
An adaptation mechanism against the predation has developed through evolution that assists prey organisms in their constant struggle against predators. In camouflage, organisms make resemblance to surroundings, disruptive colouration to prevent the predation e.g., colour change in chameleon. Pufferfish, a mainly tropical teleost family, have the capacity to swallow water and inflate themselves to something that looks like a football. In moths, a light-coloured body was an effective camouflage in a clean environment; while the dark colour was beneficial in the polluted environment. This selective survival was due to birds which easily caught dark moths on clean trees, and white moths on trees darkened with soot. Snake fangs serve to inject venom into the snake's prey. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
