Explanation:

In the context of "Animal Farm", blaming Snowball for problems on the farm benefits the pigs (specifically the ruling pigs like Napoleon) by allowing them to avoid being blamed for the farm's failures. By scapegoating Snowball, the pigs can shift responsibility for any issues onto him, thus maintaining their position of power and avoiding scrutiny for their own mismanagement or mistakes. Option A is incorrect as there's no indication this is about planning an attack. Option C is not accurate as the other animals don't forget problems but are directed to blame Snowball. Option D is wrong because the pigs' leadership and Old Major's vision aren't questioned in this way; rather, the pigs use Snowball as a scapegoat to retain control.

Answer:

B. It allows the pigs to avoid being blamed for their failures on the farm.
