Answer: c is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

In some species these threads are filled with toxins that cause paralysis. This is why handling jellyfish can cause the skin to numb or in more severe cases cause muscle paralysis and heart failure. In some areas of the globe large numbers of jellyfish cause beach closures. The sting of a Box jellyfish may cause death in as little as 3 to 20 minutes.
