Compressed tail
Sea snakes are very poisonous. The beaked sea snake is the most poisonous sea snake. They have flattened or compressed paddle-like or oar-like tails.
This is the distinguishing feature of sea snakes. They have laterally compressed bodies.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Compressed tail.'
