Explanation

Proboscis refers to the nose or snout of an animal, particularly when it is long or tubular (like an elephant's trunk). Among the options, 'snout' is the closest in meaning. 'Search' and 'probe' relate to investigating, while 'prove' means to demonstrate truth - none of which refer to a physical nose structure.
