← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results for sea turtle hatchlings when exposed to artificial light?
A)Disrupted foraging efficiency on prey
B)Impaired oxygen absorption in blood
C)Misdirection via celestial navigation✓
D)Accelerated growth cycle and molting
💡 Explanation
Hatchlings use light for orientation guiding them to the ocean; artificial light disrupts this magnetic compass mechanism resulting in disorientation and movement inland, rather than toward the sea, because light pollution overrides natural navigational cues.
