Which outcome results when iron-containing organelles degrade in migratory birds?

A)Diminished magnetic field sensitivity
B)Increased susceptibility to viral infection
C)Reduced plumage coloration intensity
D)Impaired muscle energy production

💡 Explanation

Iron-containing organelles facilitate magnetoception via the radical-pair mechanism, sensing Earth's magnetic field during migration; therefore, their degradation impairs navigation, rather than enhancing disease vulnerability or pigmentation, because it interrupts magnetic sensing pathways.
