Question

Mongoose is one animal that is known to prey on snakes. The snake puts up a resistance to the attack and uses venom against them. However, mongoose has developed immunity against snake venom. Even the strongest venom merely puts the mongoose to sleep, where it digests the venom. This kind of adaptation is called coevolution.

• A. True
• B. False

The correct option is A True

The venomous snakes are prey for the mongoose. And the mongoose has evolved alongside the snakes, to counter the venom of the snake, that is, as snakes have developed more venom, mongoose has developed better mechanisms to digest the venom. Hence, it is called as coevolution.
