Solution

The correct option is C Forceful expulsion of air from nares
Snakes have an organ in the throat called the glottis through which they breathe. By forcibly expelling air from the nares, the snake makes structures within the glottis rattle, creating a hissing sound.
So, the option C is the correct option.
