Which outcome occurs when a basking shark breaches the water surface?

💡 Explanation

Increased epidermal UV radiation absorption happens because peripheral vasodilation enhances heat gain, therefore boosting the basking shark’s thermoregulation because solar warming exceeds convective heat loss into the cool sea, rather than the listed alternatives.
