← Nature & AnimalsWhich homing outcome prevails when avian celestial cues are occluded?
A)Precision using visual landmark memory
B)Disoriented flight, local search failure
C)Compensatory magnetic field navigation takes over✓
D)Inertial navigation predicts new ground track
💡 Explanation
Navigational redundancy arises because avian species combine inputs; magnetic compensation prevails whenever reliable celestial cues for orientation are corrupted; therefore other mechanisms stabilize function, rather than total loss or reliance uniquely landmark based ones alone.
