Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Snarled is a word that describes something complicated and difficult to escape from.The same sentence contains the word ragged for describing the jungle, which means , according to the dictionary,rough, imperfect or faulty.With these words being put together the most sensible conclusion is that the author uses the word in order to suggest the thing being described is complicated and challenging.
