Solution
The correct option is D Mangoose Mangoose are immune to the snake venom. It is because the acetylcholine receptors of mangoose render them resistant or immune to snake venom primarily composed of neurotoxin. Due to this the snake's venom fails to react the way it normally does to animals who are not immune to the venom.
