Hint: Snakes are also called as serpents, and this are the organisms which are thought to be Evolved from lizards, and all of this snakes are predators where they feed on the other organisms for their food, and there are many species of snakes which come under the suborder, Serpentine.

Complete answer:
Snakes are the organisms which are limbless and have elongated body and tail.
There are around 3,400 species of snakes on the earth, and these snakes along with other reptiles such as lizards are placed under the order Squamata.
It was thought that snakes are in the process of evolution of lizards, and the reptiles which lack limbs are called snakes because there are some lizards where they have hind limbs or they may be limbless.
Snakes produce venom to kill the prey and it also produces the venom to protect themselves from any predators, generally, venom produced by the snakes is very less, so they generally don’t waste it on non-prey organisms.
All venom of snakes is not poisonous only some of them are only poisonous and are lethal.
All venomous snakes are not poisonous and many snakes are venomous but they release the toxins only when they need to kill the prey, or in any defensive situations.
Due to the loss of habitats and hunting, there is a loss of many species of snakes in the present days.
So the correct option is B.

Note: Snakes are around 3400 species, and these snakes along with lizards are kept under the order Squamata, and the snakes are kept under the suborder serpenta, and the snakes are venomous, but not all venomous snakes are poisonous.
