Which outcome results when a songbird fledgling's developmental environment lacks exposure to conspecific calls?

A)Perfect species-typical song development occurs
B)Increased susceptibility to nest predation
C)Subsong structure becomes highly variable
D)Enhanced foraging efficiency develops instead

💡 Explanation

Subsong variability increases due to the mechanism of auditory learning, because consistent acoustic input is necessary for proper song template formation; therefore, a songbird might develop an abnormal song, rather than a normal conspecific song, owing to lack of necessary exposure stimuli.
