Which 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.
