Solution

The correct option is A Neurotoxin
The venom of the king cobra consists primarily of neurotoxins, known as the haditoxin. The toxins target the victim's central nervous system, resulting in severe pain, blurred vision, vertigo, drowsiness and eventually paralysis. It progresses to cardiovascular collapse and the victim falls into a coma. Death soon follows due to respiratory failure.
