C Correct answer
Explanation

Snakes that are primarily nocturnal (night-active) typically have vertical slit-shaped pupils. This vertical pupil structure allows for better light control and enhances night vision by controlling light intake more precisely than round pupils. Daytime snakes usually have round pupils because they don't need this specialized light-gathering adaptation.
