Which navigational error results when olfactory cues are shifted?

💡 Explanation

Altered olfactory cues create inaccurate positional awareness because animals often use olfactory receptor mappings that correlate scent gradients with geography; therefore, the animal drifts sideways in their navigation, rather than changing altitude (elevation) or magnetic response because it's scent driven.
