Which consequence results when excessive wing surface area loading occurs during soaring flight?

A)Increased parasite load susceptibility
B)Elevated lactate threshold exhaustion
C)Reduced thermal updraft exploitation
D)Enhanced feather barbule interlocking

💡 Explanation

Reduced thermal updraft exploitation results because increased wing loading necessitates higher speeds to maintain lift. The mechanism of soaring efficiency declines; therefore, birds cannot efficiently use thermals, rather than using enhanced updrafts because the higher speed sacrifices maneuverability.
