Which consequence results when venomous snail protease inhibitors fail?

A)Enhanced venom peptide target binding
B)Increased venom virulence and necrotic injury
C)Reduced snail protein digestion efficiency
D)Diminished paralytic effects on predators

💡 Explanation

If protease inhibitors within snail venom fail, digestive enzymes rapidly degrade snail's own tissue, therefore increasing virulence, rather than targeted binding, because unchecked proteolysis begins the breakdown of the snail itself leading to increased necrosis.
