Which outcome occurs when a cheetah's pursuit speed exceeds its heat dissipation capacity across arid terrain?

💡 Explanation

Excessive pursuit leads to muscular hyperthermia because anaerobic respiration generates heat faster than the evaporative cooling mechanism can dissipate it, therefore triggering collapse, rather than improving efficiency as options B/C/D would present.
