Solution

The correct option is D Viper
The viper is easy to identify as the head is relatively small and is short, wide, pear-shaped and distinct from the neck and is covered with cephalic scales with serrated keels.
Vivipary means development of the embryo inside the body of the mother, eventually leading to live birth, as opposed to laying eggs
Most vipers and all of the rattlesnakes fall into this category. Members of the Boidae family, which includes boa constrictors and anacondas, also give birth to live young.
So, the correct answer is option C.
