← Nature & AnimalsWhich constraint limits distance accurately communicated by the waggle dance?
A)Atmospheric humidity disrupts pheromones
B)Predators exploit open-air signaling
C)Symbolic accuracy degradation over distance✓
D)Flight altitude temperature gradient distortions
💡 Explanation
Bees use the waggle dance, where symbolic accuracy degradation sets a limit; the dance encodes distance in duration, but this degrades over time because internal clock drift and environmental factors induce errors, therefore information is incomplete rather than due external factors.
