Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the text. The relevant quote is: "Removing them is fairly simple. It's detection. We're having a really hard time... They're camouflaged in the field." So the problem is detecting (finding) the pythons due to their camouflage. Let's check the options:

• "The snakes are too large to relocate." The text says removing is simple, so this is wrong.
• "They are difficult to find because of camouflage." Matches the quote about detection being hard due to camouflage.
• "Capturing them is illegal on private property." The text doesn't mention legality on private property.
• "The pythons live underwater." The text doesn't say they live underwater.

Answer:

B. They are difficult to find because of camouflage.
