← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when a viper's fangs discharge?
A)Capillary action delivers venom
B)Muscular contraction injects venom✓
C)Diffusion dissipates venom locally
D)Evaporation concentrates residual venom
💡 Explanation
The snake's venom is actively injected by muscular contraction which forces stores through the fangs into the prey, because this venom injection uses peristaltic muscle movements. Therefore forceful injection occurs, rather than capillary action or diffusion, which aren't rapid enough to incapacitate larger prey.
