Solution

The correct option is D Antivenom
Common krait is a venomous snake. Antibiotics are used for the treatment of non-venomous snake bites while antivenom is used to treat the bites of a venomous snake. Paink killer like Aspirin should not be taken for snake bit as they increase the blood flow which increases the chance of faster spread of the venom.
