← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when anthropogenic noise masks bat biosonar signals?
A)Improved hunting success in urban areas
B)Increased neural plasticity development
C)Reduced efficiency of insect foraging✓
D)Enhanced detoxification enzymatic production
💡 Explanation
Bat's echolocation relies on acoustic reflection of calls; noise impairs target recognition because masking reduces signal clarity. Therefore the bat's insect foraging is less efficient, rather than enhanced hunting, due to sensory interference and stress.
