Which outcome occurs when structural barb discontinuities in flight feathers exceed a threshold during prolonged avian soaring?

A)Increased sensitivity to barbicule fracturing
B)Compromised airfoil shape maintenance
C)Elevated skin friction aerodynamic heating
D)Enhanced contour feather waterproofing ability

💡 Explanation

Compromised airfoil shape maintenance occurs because feather barb discontinuity reduces aerodynamic efficiency via decreasing structural stiffness therefore inhibiting optimal lift production, and increasing drag, rather than enhancing some other ability under differing pressures.
