Which lift reduction occurs when bird feathers separate?

A)Stall speed increases dramatically
B)Airflow becomes completely laminar
C)Boundary layer thickness diminishes
D)Turbulence intensity immediately decreases

💡 Explanation

Lift degrades because flow separation increases parasitic drag; this is profile drag, therefore the stall speed rises leading to lift stall, rather than a decrease because cohesion along the structure is failing.
