A Correct answer
Explanation

The fat-tailed scorpion (Androctonus australis) has extremely potent venom that can kill a human in approximately 4 hours if untreated. It is one of the most dangerous scorpions in North Africa and the Middle East. Death within 6, 10, or 24 hours would be slower than typical fatalities.
