← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when a soaring bird remains aloft during rapid cloud formation?
A)Elevated anaerobic respiration rate
B)Detrimental feather fungal growth
C)Adverse pneumatic bone compression
D)Catastrophic wing ice accumulation✓
💡 Explanation
Catastrophic wing ice accumulation is likely in rapid cloud formation because supercooled water droplets rapidly freeze on the feathers, adding excessive weight. This is due to rapid icing, therefore lift decreases dramatically, rather than fungal growth which is much slower.
