← Nature & AnimalsWhich behavioral outcome exists when migratory birds experience magnetic field distortions?
A)Impaired directional orientation ensues✓
B)Enhanced foraging efficiency arises
C)Accelerated reproductive maturity happens
D)Reduced predator avoidance develops
💡 Explanation
Distortions disrupt the birds' magnetoreception, because magnetic compass navigation relies on sensing the Earth's magnetic field for direction through specialized cells that detect magnetic fields; therefore, disorientation arises, rather than improved foraging, which relies on other sensory cues.
