Which consequence results when a lanternfish's bioluminescent lure ceases functioning during mating season?

A)Disrupted synchronous spawning of coral
B)Reduced availability of dissolved oxygen
C)Decreased predator avoidance capability immediately
D)Impaired mate selection based on species recognition

💡 Explanation

Impaired mate selection occurs because bioluminescence functions as species-specific signaling via inter-species 'lock-and-key' mechanism; therefore female anglerfish identify compatible mates rather than incorrect matches that do not support offspring vitality.
