Which consequence results when a marmot's hibernation den floods?

💡 Explanation

Flooding causes increased thermal conductance leading to increased thermogenesis via shivering. Therefore, the marmot's body temperature elevates raising the risk of arousal, because more energy is spent, rather than continued torpor maintenance with suppression of warming processes.
