Question

what does the cobra do to try and scare off the mongoose? this question is worth 1 point(s) it climbs a tree to escape. it raises its hood and hisses. it digs a hole and hides. it plays dead to confuse the mongoose.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the defensive behaviors of a cobra against a mongoose. Cobras are known to raise their hood (the expanded neck skin) and hiss as a threat display to scare off predators or threats like mongooses. Climbing a tree is an escape, not a scaring action. Digging a hole and hiding, or playing dead, are not typical cobra defensive behaviors against mongooses.

Answer:

B. It raises its hood and hisses.
