Solution
The correct option is B Slither
Snakes do not have limbs. Instead, they have very flexible ribs, vertebrae and also their body has layers of muscles beneath the skin. These muscles contract and relax alternatively forming a wave-like motion. This type of movement is called slithering. The scales present on the underside of a snake's body helps it to cling to the surface. Walking is one of the main gaits of locomotion among legged animals.
