According to me c should be the answer.

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.


On a surface which is free from obstacles, such as a clear road or a path, only two or three species of snakes can hope to catch up with a human being, even if they are foolish to try. A snake seems to move very fast but its movements are deceptive. In spite of the swift, wave-like motions of its body, the snake crawls along the ground at no more than the speed of man’s walk. It may, however, have an advantage inside a jungle, where the progress of a man is obstructed by thorny bushes. But in such places, the footsteps of a man are usually more than enough to warn snakes to keep away. Although they have no ears of the usual kind, they can feel slight vibrations of the ground through their bodies, and thus get an early warning of danger.

What does the passage suggest about most of the snakes?

Options:
A) on ground their movement is as fast as that of men
B) on ground their movement is faster than that of men
C) on ground their movement is serpentine hence slow 
D) on ground their movement  is deceptive but faster than that of men
Solution:
Ex: The answer can be supported by these lines - A snake seems to move very fast but its movements are deceptive. In spite of the swift, wave-like motions of its body, the snake crawls along the ground at no more than the speed of man’s walk.
