Answer 1

Answer:

B. "Snakes help humans by eating other animals that might hurt crops."

Explanation:

Option A would not work as it would claim to show that snakes are helpful to humans.  Option C would also not work because it would give a factual statement about snake venom.  Option D would not work as well because it would also give a factual statement generally about snakes, so your best choice would be Option B because it would give a reason of why snakes would help humans.
