The correct response is:
**only the mass of the mouse**
When a snake eats a mouse, the mass of the snake increases by the mass of the mouse it consumed. The mass of waste produced does not directly contribute to the increase in the snake's overall mass; instead, it is a product of the digestion process. Therefore, the increase in the snake's mass is solely the mass of the mouse.
