Growth is the cause for snakes shedding so the correct answer is B

Ans.

Snakes shed their outermost skin layer on the regular basis that allows further growth and removal of old skin. As snakes grow, their skin become stretched and reaches a point, where no further growth is possible. During shedding, they rub their skin against rough and hard surfaces that help them to shed skin.

Thus, the correct answer is option B). 'growth.'
