Explanation:

A compound - complex sentence has at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. The sentence "The saw - scaled viper does not have the deadliest venom, but it is responsible for more human deaths than any other snake because it lives in populated areas" has two independent clauses ("The saw - scaled viper does not have the deadliest venom" and "it is responsible for more human deaths than any other snake") and one dependent clause ("because it lives in populated areas"). A simple sentence has one independent clause, a compound sentence has two or more independent clauses (no dependent clauses), and a complex sentence has one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. So this is a compound - complex sentence.

compound - complex
