← Nature & AnimalsWhich navigational problem would arise in monarch butterflies lacking properly developed olfactory maps?
A)Inability to locate overwintering habitats✓
B)Failure to detect Earth's magnetic field
C)Disruption of internal circadian rhythm
D)Impaired larval development during migration
💡 Explanation
An inability to use olfactory cues prevents accurate location of overwintering sites; this relies on olfactory map-based homing. Therefore butterflies cannot complete their multigenerational migration, rather than other disorientation because magnetic or circadian senses are unaffected.
