Spiders that inject venom into their prey in order to kill it, have the venomous glands located in the chelicerae. The chelicerae are fangs that act as hypodermic needles that inject the venom. All spiders have them but not all of them are used to inject venom.

"Chelicerae" is the mouth appendage in which these venom glands of the spider are located. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". The other options given in the question are incorrect. I hope that this answer has come to your help.
