Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Snakes have no visible means for detecting airborne sound, having lost the tympanum and the external ear. Their stapes (the delicate bone which works with two other bones in the ear to send sound vibrations into the inner ear) are slightly different from what we have. It is connected to the jawbone, enabling them to sense the vibrations.
Snakes do not have an external ear, but they have all the other internal parts of the ear that humans have. Thus by sensing the surrounding vibrations, snakes will sense sound.
The correct statement would be  the snake’s sense sounds by surrounding vibrations.
