Which risk increases for a venomous snake when prey evolves resistance?

💡 Explanation

Reduced venom potency triggers higher attack failure rates because effective venom transfer via the envenomation mechanism decreases, therefore requiring more energy expenditure per successful hunt, rather than improving fang durability which relates to the snake's physical attack.
