Which risk increases when flight loading exceeds limits within the albatross?

A)Decreased takeoff soaring efficiency.
B)Increased oxygen air-sac resistance.
C)Enhanced wing-flapping aerodynamics.
D)Improved feather preening effectiveness.

💡 Explanation

Exceeding flight loading leads to decreased soaring efficiency, reducing takeoff ability because induced drag increases due to higher angles of attack, rather than improving preening or respiratory processes. Thus, soaring decreases.
