Researcher: Our latest study indicates that most species of snakes hide themselves underneath plants or porches immediately before they shed their skins. One hypothesis that explains this behavior is that snakes hide to escape the notice of airborne predators during shedding season, when snakes' excess skin increases their visibility to these predators.
The hypothesis above depends on which of the following assumptions?
A. Airborne predators that feed on snakes will seek other prey during shedding season, because they are likely aware that snakes tend to be hidden during this season.
B. A number of snake species hide under plants and porches during seasons other than shedding season.
C. During shedding season, the changes that occur in the snakes' shape as seen from overhead do not provide camouflage.
D. The excess skin shed by a live snake during the shedding season may serve as a decoy to lure airborne predators away from the snake's actual body.
E. The majority of animals that attack snakes are airborne predators.

IMO C.
Arugument - Snakes needs tohide during shedding season. It is possible when they are more visible to airborne predators means their camaflouge is reduced or changes in shedding season do not provide camaflouge
